Return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Stir in vanilla. Pour over caramelized sugar., Place cake pan in a large baking pan; add 1 in. of boiling water to larger pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until center is just set (mixture will jiggle). Remove cake pan from water bath; cool for 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate overnight., In a small bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Add sugar and orange zest; beat until stiff peaks form. To serve flan, run knife around edge of pan. Invert flan onto a serving plate; serve with whipped cream.
