- To make the cake batter, in a large bowl, whisk together all of your dry ingredients and make a well at the centre.
- Pour all the wet into the dry ingredients and mix well using a hand held electric mixer and set aside.
- Add the cake batter on top of the caramel, smooth the top so its nice and even.
- In a bowl, add the evaporated milk, condensed milk, cream cheese eggs, egg yolk and vanilla. Mix using a wire whisk or hand mixer until you have a smooth mixture.
- Pour the flan mixture over the cake batter, cover the whole thing with foil.
- Pour some really hot water in the roasting dish, enough to come up about an inch from the bottom of the bundlt pan.
- Bake for 1-1 hour and 10 minutes, look to see that the top of the cake is firm.
- Allow to cool for about an hour, invert it onto a platter and enjoy!
