    How about this one?

    Cake, Flan, Mexican, BobS

    Here is the recipe. It is one of our favorites.


    INGREDIENTS:
    1 box chocolate cake mix
    1 cup milk
    1 jar cajeta - 310 grams, in flavor you prefer - about 11 ounces
    7 eggs - 3 for the cake and 4 for the flan mixture
    1 can sweetened condensed milk - about 10 ounces
    1 can evaporated milk - 12 ounces
    1 tsp vanilla
    3/4 cup butter
    1 1/2 cup pecan halves
    maraschino cherries for decorating
    butter for the cake pan
    flour for dusting the cake pan




    1 Procedure:
    2 Using a cake ring mold, liberally coat it with melted butter, then dust the pan until it is well coated.
    3 Next put the cajeta in the bottom of the pan (it helps if you remove the lid and slowly warm in a microwave).
    4 Mix together the cake mix, ¾ cup melted butter, 3 eggs, and 1 cup milk. Mix together well. Pour cake mixture on top of cajeta mixture in pan.
    5 Flan: In a blender: 4 eggs, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. Blend well. Pour this mixture, in a circle, on top of the cake mixture.
    6 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put the cake pan in a larger pan with water in it, half way up the side. Cook until the cake is done - between 1 & 1 ½ hour (test with toothpick). Remove the cake from the waterbath and let cool for at least ½ hour. Then unmold the cake to a platter and sprinkle with crushed pecans and decorate with pecan halves and cherries.

    she means this one ;)

    Dessert, Cake, Chocolate Volcano

    We do those too. We call them chocolate volcanio cakes. they are very good aren't they lightly spray 6 custard cups with pam. and place on a round metal cake cooling rack stabilize the egg at 400 indirect. I use the pizza stone on my grate with the plate setter leg's up and set the cake cooling rack on it to give a small air space under the glass custard cups. Make sure that it is burning clean so you do not get a smoky flavor to the chocolate. I do these after a cook. I have everything premeasured and ready so after the other food comes off the egg I scrape the grate well and let it burn while we eat to clean it out a little. when we are done eating I stir them all together and put on the egg to cook while we clean up from dinner. timing is about right.


    3/4 cup chocolate chips
    10 Tbs unsalted butter
    Melt in large microwave safe bowl in the microwave for 1 min and stir till all melted and smooth.
    mix 1 1/2 c powered sugar and 1/2 cup flour
    whisk 3 whole eggs and 3 egg yolks in a small bowl.



    add flour and sugar to the melted chocolate. it will be thick, add all the eggs. stir till smooth. divide the batter between the 6 cups. bake for about 14 minutes. I peek down the top vent to see is rising and not burning. they do not rise a lot but will burn easy. you do not let these cool as they will stick in the cups. run a knife around the edges and turn out on to dishes serve with van ice cream. when you spoon into them they are filled with runny hot fudge sauce. If you like chocolate these are to die for!

    Whichever cake it is, they all look great. Better start thinking about dessert for my turkey that is on now. Thought you were going to GA today?

    THANK YOU!! :silly: You guys are the greatest!!! We have had 14 hookers plus the teacher here for 3 days and one more day to go. We do breakfast and lunch all 4 days and one night is a lobster dinner for everyone. I like to have 3-4 WOW desserts for the big night. We are having fresh blueberry (blueberries from the back yard) bread pudding with hot buttered rum sauce, Mojito cake that is to DIE for and the Choco-flan cake. I want to sub most of the water with Khaula for a different flavor. To go with the lobster is "the Chicken" for those fools that don't do lobster :whistle: pasta salad, coleslaw, corn on the cob and rolls. I am tired but having a blast cooking. the large egg here at the studio has done a nice job making me look good :) Julie off to bake another cake

    Sounds like you're running a B&B? Are hookers legal in Maine? I thought it was only Nevada... Nice that they have a teacher with them! Oh well, perhaps I shouldn't tread on that subject any more... 8 - )

    Like I said you guys are the greatest!! Here are a few shots of what the ladies are doing this week. It is fine cut animals and the strips of wool fabric have been cut in 2/32 or 3/32 of an inch, very tiny. It is like painting with fabric. We use only 100% wool and we dye every thing to get the colors we need to achieve the affects.
