Pastel de Flan

Cultural Context

Originating in Mexico, Pastel de Flan combines the rich, creamy texture of flan with the form of a cake, making it a popular dessert for celebrations. Traditionally served at birthdays and holidays, this dessert symbolizes indulgence and family gatherings. Its versatility has led to variations across Latin America, where it is cherished in many forms, from simple flans to elaborate layered cakes.

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Prepare a round cake pan by greasing it with butter.

3

In a saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

4

Pour the caramelized sugar into the prepared cake pan, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.

5

In a blender, combine eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract; blend until smooth.

6

Pour the milk mixture over the caramel in the cake pan.

7

Place the cake pan in a larger baking dish and fill the larger dish with water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan.

8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until set and a knife inserted comes out clean.

9

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

10

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

11

To serve, invert the cake onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the top.
