Flan Cake (pic)

[KatyTheChickenLady]

I am the worst desert maker ever! mine turned out terrible

My metal bundt pan that looks like the one in the pic was to small for it, so I used my nice large, straight sided, silcone one . . . followed all the directions exactly . . . it looked beautiful while still in the pan . . . I waited the exact time to remove from pan (something I don't usually have the patience for) then I inverted it onto a beautiful serving platter . . . and the entire middle was soup; it ran all over the counter, down the cupboards and onto the floor!!!!
I SUCK AT DESERTS!!!! Back to costco pumpkin pies for me

But it is really beautiful in the pics and I am jealous of all of you with the knack for sweets!

I think you forgot to let it cool completely in the pan before inverting. I too am impatient when cooking so I set the timer to keep it in the hot water bath for the extra 15 minutes. I took it out of the water and then I almost forgot it on the counter. I think that was a good thing as it was cool to the touch when I flipped it onto the plate.

I have never tried this type of cake before... (and as we have no cake mixes here I wont be able to) but I am intrigued... can someone tell me if this is something like the english steamed pudding in texture?

Oh, MAN that looks good! I might try that for Christmas Eve this year.

Hollyandty is right... it is VERY important to let the cake cool completely before removing from bunt pan onto a platter.
