I saw this cake online, does anyone know what it’s called? I want to bake it but don’t know what to search.

    Is it not a flan rather than a cake?

    Chocoflan cake made in a Nordic Ware elegant heart pan.

    Teeth cake, according to what I saw when quickly scrolling.

  4. Looks like a crème caramel or crème aux œufs

    ah yes, the classic “looks simple but will emotionally destroy me if I try to bake it” cake

    It’s chocoflan, some also use different flavor cake, such as strawberry, red velvet or vanilla, but the most known version is chocolate

    Some people also call it “Pastel Imposible” (Impossible Cake) because the chocolate cake and flan layers switch while baking because of their different densities. You first pour the cake batter into the mold then the flan mixture.

    Am I the only one who thought it was a teeth cake for a dentist?

    Chocoflan (half cake, half flan), otherwise known as “the impossible cake.” It gets it name from the fact you pour in the cake batter first before gently pouring over the custard. In the oven due to density differences, the flan floats to the bottom (top of the cake) when baking. Makes for a very pretty and impressive looking cake.

    Note: many people “cheat” by pre-baking the flan on its own for a bit before pouring the cake batter. Baked as usual. There’s no visual or textural change from this method,but there’s a tad more reassurance that it won’t all mix together by accident somehow.

    Choco flan or sometimes called the impossible cake

  13. TableAvailable

    That’s a flan or creme caramel.
    It’s a baked custard

    Edit: the chocolate cake part was disguised. Chocoflan

    At first glance I thought these were dentures.
