    ingredients   
    instructions For the Ramekins: Set the oven to 350 degrees.
  • step 2
    ingredients Enough butter to coat 12 molds
    instructions Butter the bottom and sides of each ramekin or mold until evenly spread.
  • step 3
    ingredients 1 cup Cajeta (Mexican caramelized milk)
    instructions Pour the cajeta into the buttered molds, distributing evenly between all 12.
  • step 4
    ingredients 1 stick butter
    3/4 cup Granulated sugar
    1 Egg
    instructions For the Cake: In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until fluffy. Then, beat in the egg.
  • step 5
    ingredients 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
    1/3 cup Cocoa
    1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
    Pinch of salt
    instructions In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • step 6
    ingredients 3/4 cup Buttermilk
    instructions At medium speed, beat in half of the flour mixture and half of the buttermilk into the butter/sugar mixture. Then, beat in the remaining halves. Make sure you scrape the side of the bowl to make certain that all of the ingredients mix evenly.
  • step 7
    ingredients 1 12-ounce can evaporated milk
    1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
    4 Eggs
    1 teaspoon Vanilla
    instructions For the Flan: Mix the eggs, vanilla, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk in a blender.
  • step 8
    ingredients   
    instructions To Assemble: Pour the cake batter into each ramekin or mold. Then, pour the flan mixture on top of the cake batter in each mold.
  • step 9
    ingredients   
    instructions Put all of the ramekins into a large pan or baking dish. Pour hot water into the dish until it is about 1 inch deep to make a water bath. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and seal. Put the dish in the oven.
  • step 10
    ingredients   
    instructions Bake for about 50 to 55 minutes, or until the surface of each cake feels solid and a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven. Be careful when you open the aluminum foil because the steam will be very hot.
  • step 11

    instructions Let the chocoflans cool, cover with plastic and refrigerate at least 2 hours before eating (NOTE: They can store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days).
  • step 12
    ingredients 1/3 cup Toasted pecans (chopped)
    instructions When ready to serve, run the tip of a knife around the ramekin and place it cake-side down onto a plate. Lift the mold up. Drizzle each chocoflan with cajeta and decorate with chopped pecans.
