Magic Flan Cake

I love magic and gets giddy when I watch one. But a magic in a cake is something that can make me sleepless, until I get to make and see it my self. Over acting to be sleepless but I get that every time there is something I need to do or want to do, this time Magic Flan Cake.

Came across its recipe in Pinterest while I was looking for a new cake recipe. The magic happens when its bake, as the chocolate layer floats to the top and the flan at the bottom of the pan, science and density can explain this but it was fun waiting for the cake to bake and see it my self. And so here is the recipe;

Add sugar, buttermilk, vanilla and eggs in melted butter, whisk until its smooth. Pour chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients.  Pour batter over the caramel sauced pan, I used bundt pan so I spread butter over the pan.
4. For the flan, simply add all the flan ingredients to a blender and process until its smooth. Pour the flan batter over the chocolate cake batter. And the magic begins.
