Lightly grease a 10-cup Bundt cake pan with melted butter or baking spray.<\/p>\n<p>Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar and cook, stirring constantly and scraping down the sides of the pan to prevent burning, until fully melted and dark gold in color, about 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully and quickly pour the hot caramel into the prepared Bundt pan, tilting the pan to spread the caramel evenly over the bottom before it sets (be careful, the pan and the caramel will be hot!).<\/p>\n<p>Combine the condensed milk, cream cheese, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla, and salt in a blender, and blend on high until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared pan over the caramel. It should only come halfway up the side of the pan in order to leave room for the cake batter to be poured on top.<\/p>\n<p>Place the Bundt pan in a large baking pan or roasting pan and place the nested pans on a pulled-out oven rack. Pour 2 inches of water into the roasting pan. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the flan is set on top but still jiggles when shaken.<\/p>\n<p>Remove from the oven and set the Bundt pan on a wire rack while you make the cake batter. Keep the oven on and reserve the water bath.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make the cake batter:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.<\/p>\n<p>Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and use a spatula to fold until well incorporated. Pour the cake batter on top of the baked flan and return it to the water bath, adding more water if needed for a depth of 2 inches. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.<\/p>\n<p>Flip the cooled cake out onto a serving plate. Refrigerate uncovered for 1 to 2 hours before serving.<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">Slice the cake and top with a few spoonfuls of berries or assorted fruit of choice and serve.<\/div>\n<p class=\"author-credit\">Excerpted from In Edith\u2019s Kitchen: Recipes from My Mostly Mexican-American Home to Yours.
