Instructions

In a saucepan, heat sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until dissolved. Simmer until golden amber (about 5–7 minutes). Pour into a bundt pan, swirling to coat the bottom. Let cool.
In a bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add egg, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Stir in hot water.
Whisk sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth to make the flan mixture.
Pour chocolate batter over the cooled caramel in the bundt pan. Gently pour flan mixture over the cake batter.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bundt pan in a large roasting pan and add hot water halfway up the sides. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a plate. Allow it to cool completely so the caramel sets.
Slice and serve, enjoying the layers of chocolate cake, flan, and caramel.

Notes

Add chopped nuts over the caramel for texture.
Try different cake bases like coffee or vanilla for variation.
Use flax eggs and plant-based milk for a vegan version.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Let slices come to room temperature or microwave briefly to serve.
