In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and eggs. Beat them together using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 4 minutes until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy. You can also use a stand mixer.
Pour in the milk, vegetable oil, warm water with instant coffee, and vanilla extract. Continue mixing on low speed until all the ingredients are well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Be careful not to over-mix.
Now, add the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon to the bowl. Mix on low speed until ingredients are incorporated, be careful not to over-mix.
Pour chocolate cake batter over your baked flan.
In a water bath - pop it back in the oven, covered with foil, and bake for another 50-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Bake time depends on your oven. Also depends on the size of your bundt pan & if you had to separate the recipe into 2 cake tins. Keep your eye on it!
Remove your Chocoflan from the oven and let it cool at room temp for one hour.
After 1 hour; Refrigerate for at-least 2 hours before serving, overnight is preferred!
Enjoy your delicious Chocoflan the next day!
To loosen the cake, carefully place the Bundt pan in a large bowl of hot water, allowing the warmth to release the cake from the pan. Next, take an upside-down platter and position it on top of the cake pan, then confidently flip the pan to unmold the cake. Finally, drizzle any remaining caramel from the pan over the top of the cake.
You can make Chocoflan up to three days in advance. Simply store it in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
And you're done!
