Pumpkin Flan Cake Recipes

PUMPKIN FLAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Put the granulated sugar in a 9-inch cake pan or pie plate, set on the center rack in the oven, and bake until the sugar is caramel colored, 8 to 12 minutes. Swirl to cover the bottom of the pie plate with the caramel.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in pumpkin puree. In a medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, and vanilla. Thoroughly blend the egg mixture into the pumpkin puree.
• Set the pie plate in a large roasting pan, and pour the custard over the caramel. Carefully pour enough hot tap water into the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the pie plate. Bake until the custard is set, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool and chill in the refrigerator. Run a knife around the outside edge of the flan and invert it onto a rimmed plate. Cut into wedges or scoop and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

PUMPKIN FLAN CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Cake Mix: Mix cake according to the directions on the back of the box. Combine Cake mix, subsituting the coca-cola,for the water, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, mix well. Do not use both water and coke.
• 2. Flan Part: Combine evaporated milk, sweet condensed milk, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and 4 oz (1/2 block)cream cheese, mix with mixer or in a blender. Mix for 2-3 min., mix well. You can use up to 5 eggs and 8oz of cream cheese to make it creamier. Set flan mixture aside.
• 3. Caramel Sauce: Spray Bundt pan with Pam spray. Pour of 1 1/2 cups Cajeta or caramel into bottom of bundt pan. Feel free to make your own caramel if you want (directions online).
• 4. Assemble the cake: 1. Spray 12 cup bundt pan with Pam spray 2. Pour 1 1/2 cup Cajeta or caramel into bottom of bundt pan. 3. Pour cake batter evenly on top of caramel that is in the bundt pan. 4. Slowly pour flan mixture on top of cake batter. The flan mixture will sink to the bottom of the cake batter by itself. This will cause the cake batter to rise up in the bundt pan. Make sure it doesn't overflow
• 5. Prepare cake to bake: Get a pan large enough for the bundt pan to fit inside. I use a 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Fill the 9 x 13 inch pan with 2 inches of water. Place bundt pan in the pan with the water in it. Place both pans in the oven. Cover the bundt pan with foil for the first 45 minutes of baking.
• 6. Bake the cake: Preheat oven 400 degrees, Bake about 1 hour. Start checking cake after 45 minutes and check every 15 minutes until done. It is very important for cake to be completely done or flan will not set. Check cake with toothpick, also take a knife and gently pull the cake a little from the middle tube/center of cake and peak at cake. If gooey the cake is not done and put back in oven. Also, the cake will separate from the sides and middle of the pan when done. This seems to be the most difficult part about baking this cake. If cake is not done then the flan will be not set up. When done remove bundt pan from larger pan with water and set on cooling rack.
• 7. Serving the cake: Although very tempting DO NOT serve before cooling cake! Cool cake on cooling rack at room tempature about 1 hour, place cake in refrigerator at least 2-3 hours before trying to serve. I make mine the night before and refrigerate overnight. Remove from refrigerator 1-2 hours before serving. Take a large serving platter and put on top of bundt pan and flip cake over. Let set and the cake will come out of the bundt pan. This cake is layered with the cake on the bottom, topped with the flan and the caramel dripping down the sides of the cake. If transporting the cake to another location leave the cake in the bundt pan and flip it onto a platter when you get there. on the bottom, topped with the flan and the caramel dripping down the sides of the cake.
• 8. Pans: 1 - Bundt pan, any size you have will work. 1 - 9 X 13 inch cake pan - You will put about 2 inches of water in this and put the bundt pan in it to bake your cake. Make sure your bundt pan fits inside the 9x13 in pan.

FROSTED PUMPKIN GINGERBREAD FLAN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Spray two flan pans evenly with PAM or Baker's Joy. NOTE, if you don't have non-stick flan pans - For a little extra insurance that the cakes turn out of the pans smoothly after baking, do this: spray the pans w/ PAM, then cut out circles of parchment paper or waxed paper, the size of the inner flan. Spray the top of the parchment paper after anchoring it in the flan. This center section is your thinnest part of the finished cake, so this is just extra insurance that it won't stick and fall apart when you release it from the pan later on.
• Prepare cake mix according to package directions.
• Divide batter evenly between the two prepared flans. Bake for approx. 20 minutes, or when toothpick inserted in thickest part comes out clean.
• After about 5 minutes, to allow sugars to harden a bit and cake to pull away from the pans, flip cakes over onto desired platters. Allow them to cool completely.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk pudding into cold milk until it is well and thoroughly mixed. Whisk in canned pumpkin until smooth.
• Using a rubber spatula, GENTLY fold 3 cups of the cool whip into pudding/pumpkin mixture. Incorporate them together well.
• Dividing the mixture equally, spread evenly into the wells of the two flans.
• Chop the pecans, and sprinkle over the top of the pudding/pumpkin/cool whip mixture.
• Garnish the tops of the cakes with the remainder of the cool whip.
• Mix together the cinnamon and freshly-ground nutmeg, and sprinkle evenly over the tops of the cakes.
• Store unused portion in refrigerator. Will not last much more than a day, so eat it up! Yummmmm!
