If you are wondering about Soft and airy chiffon cake topped with a thin layer of milk custard flan, then, you will find this cake attractive to have; for it is actually a combination of two delightful cakes!

Ingredients:

For the Caramel Layer:

• 2 tsp liquid ube flavoring
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 3 egg whites
• 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
• 1/4 cup sugar

Instructions:

Make the Caramel Layer:

1. Sprinkle sugar in a 9-inch round baking pan.
2. Heat the pan on low until the sugar melts and turns golden. Swirl to distribute evenly.
3. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Make the Flan Layer:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Mix egg yolks, evaporated milk, and condensed milk until smooth.
3. Strain the mixture and pour it over the caramel in the pan.

Make the Ube Chiffon Cake Layer:

1. Beat egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar until light and bubbly.
2. Add milk, oil, and ube flavoring. Mix well.
3. Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Add cream of tartar and beat to soft peaks.
5. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and beat to stiff peaks.
6. Fold a small amount of egg whites into the yolk mixture, then fold in the rest until combined.

Assemble and Bake:

1. Place the round pan inside a larger, rimmed pan.
2. Pour the cake batter over the flan layer.
3. Fill the larger pan with water until halfway up the side of the round pan.
4. Bake at 350°F for 60-70 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
5. Cool the cake. Run a knife around the edge, invert onto a plate, and tap to release.

From chiffon cake, the type of cake I prefer most is light and fluffy, but the flan custard here inside the cake is creamy, yummy and irresistible. Ideal on the go snack for anyone who loves their sweets.

Hey, thanks for checking out my Ube Flan Cake recipe! If you're looking to lighten it up, try using evaporated milk with a bit of sugar or even coconut milk. Either way, it's gonna be fire! Appreciate the love!
