Provided by vlacer

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (15 ouce) can evaporated milk
1 (14 ounce) condensed milk
6 egg yolks
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3 aluminum molds (llanera) for leche flan
A pinch of salt
A dash of cinnamon
1 ripe banana, mashed
CARAMEL
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix thoroughly sugar & water and pour into the molds equally. Heat molds with sugar and water mixture on low fire until the sugar is caramelized. Set aside and let cool. Note: The caramelized mixture should solidify once totally cooled. In a bowl, mix well the evaporated milk, condensed milk, egg yolks, vanilla, mashed banana, a dash of cinnamon and pinch of salt manually or by blender. Pour gently the mixture on top of the caramel on the aluminum molds to about 1 1/4 inch thick. Cover molds individually with aluminum foil. Steam for about 30 minutes OR bake for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. To tell whether the leche flan is already cooked, insert a knife on the mixture and if it comes out clean then the flan is already cooked. Let cool and keep refrigerated. How to serve: Run a thin knife around the edges of the mold to loosen the leche Flan. Place a platter on top of the mold and turn upside down.

3 eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
⅓ cup water
1 cup mashed banana
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
5 eggs
½ cup milk
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 12-cup fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray. Pour 11 ounces caramel topping into prepared pan. Spray a sheet of aluminum foil with cooking spray.
  • Beat cake mix, 3 eggs, oil, and water together in a bowl with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds; increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl. Mix banana and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract into batter; pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Beat sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, 5 eggs, milk, cream cheese, and 1 teaspoon almond extract together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth; pour over cake batter. Cover fluted tube pan tightly with prepared aluminum foil, sprayed-side down. Set fluted tube pan into a large baking dish and fill baking dish with about 2 inches of water, creating a water bath.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours. Remove fluted tube pan from water and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and invert cake onto a serving dish. The caramel topping should flow down the sides of cake.
  • Cool cake to room temperature and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight. Drizzle remaining caramel sauce over cake before serving.
