Prepare the Caramel; add the sugar and water to a small saucepan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Heat over medium heat without stirring, swirling the pan occasionally until the sugar melts and turns a golden amber colour. This should take about 5-7 minutes.<\/p>\n
Once the caramel is ready, immediately pour it into the bottom of a greased Bundt pan. Swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom with caramel.<\/p>\n
Set aside to cool and harden while you prepare the other layers. Prepare the Chocolate Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.<\/p>\n
Add the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth and thick. Slowly pour in the hot water, stirring continuously. The batter will thin out, but this is normal. Set the batter aside.<\/p>\n
Prepare the Flan Mixture: In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.<\/p>\n
Alternatively, you can whisk the mixture by hand until fully combined. Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Pour the chocolate cake batter over the caramel in the Bundt pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top if necessary.<\/p>\n
Slowly and carefully pour the flan mixture over the chocolate cake batter.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry if it looks like they\u2019re mixing \u2013 the layers will separate during baking. Cover the Bundt pan tightly with aluminium foil to prevent the flan from browning too much. Place the bundt pan in a large roasting pan.<\/p>\n
Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the bundt pan. This water bath (bain-marie) ensures the flan cooks gently and evenly. Transfer the roasting pan with the Bundt pan into the preheated oven.<\/p>\n
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the chocolate cake layer comes out clean. Once baked, remove the Bundt pan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature.<\/p>\n
For the best results, refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the flan to be fully set and the flavours to meld.<\/p>\n
To unmold the cake, carefully run a knife around the edges of the Bundt pan to loosen it. Place a serving platter over the Bundt pan and invert the cake.<\/p>\n
Gently lift the pan to reveal your beautifully layered chocoflan. The caramel will flow over the top as a glaze.<\/p>\n
