Ingredients for the Flan:

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Directions for the Flan:
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Using a stand mixer or food processor, beat the cream cheese, evaporated and condensed milks and eggs until well-combined. Set aside.

Pour the Flan mix evenly over the Chocolate Cake batter.
Place the tube pan in a roasting pan large enough to hold the pan with at least 1-inch of room around the pan on all sides.
Fill the roasting pan with hot water about halfway up the sides of the tube pan (you are making a Bain Marie).
Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake.
Cool the cake, then turn it out onto a serving platter.
