Creamy Caramel Flan on Soft Sponge Cake

A Luxurious Dessert That Melts in Your Mouth

If you're searching for a dessert that looks elegant, tastes divine, and impresses guests from the very first bite, this creamy caramel flan on sponge cake is your new go-to recipe. This dessert blends two irresistible textures: a silky, lightly sweet flan and a soft, airy sponge cake that forms the perfect base. When unmolded, the glossy caramel drips beautifully over the layers, giving the dessert a stunning bakery-quality finish.

Ingredients

For the Caramel

• 75 g sugar

• 25 ml hot water

For the Flan

• 140 g sugar

• 4 whole eggs

• 2 egg yolks

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 700 ml milk

For the Sponge Cake

• 2 egg whites

• 30 g sugar

• 2 egg yolks

• 40 ml milk

• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

• 60 g flour

• 2 g baking powder

• 2 g baking soda

Instructions

Prepare the Caramel

Start by heating the sugar over low-medium heat until it melts into a rich golden caramel. As soon as the mixture turns amber, remove it from the heat and carefully pour the hot water to loosen the consistency. Swirl gently, then immediately pour the caramel into the bottom of your baking mold, tilting to cover the surface evenly.

Make the Flan Layer

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, yolks, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and lightly foamy. Warm the milk slightly—not boiling—then pour it into the mixture while stirring. Strain the flan mixture for extra smoothness, then gently pour it over the cooled caramel.

Prepare the Sponge Cake

Beat the egg whites until stiff, gradually adding sugar to create a glossy meringue. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks, oil, milk, flour, baking soda, and baking powder until smooth. Fold the meringue gently into the batter, keeping the mixture light.

Combine and Bake

Carefully distribute the sponge cake batter over the flan. Place the mold inside a larger tray filled halfway with hot water. Bake at 160°C for about 40 minutes. The flan should be set and the cake fluffy.

To Serve

Cool completely, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, then unmold to reveal a stunning two-layer dessert dripping with caramel.

 Conclusion

This elegant caramel flan on sponge cake is a showstopper that’s easier to make than it looks. Chill it well and slice with a sharp knife for clean layers; every forkful balances silky flan, tender cake, and glossy caramel. Perfect for holidays, special dinners, or whenever you want to impress with a homemade bakery-quality dessert.

Mom’s Slow-Cooker Casserole: A Comforting Family Classic

A Heartwarming Dish Filled With Memories and Flavor

Some recipes are more than instructions—they’re pieces of family history. Mom’s slow-cooker casserole is one of those dishes that brings warmth, nostalgia, and joy to every plate. With tender beef chops simmered in a deeply flavored sauce, this uncomplicated meal is the perfect reminder of how comforting homemade food can be.

Ingredients

• 4–5 sirloin chops

• 1 chopped onion

• 1 chopped tomato

• 1/3 cup tomato sauce

• 1/4 cup brown vinegar

• 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce

• 1 cup beef broth

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• Optional: cilantro, minced garlic, chili flakes

Instructions

Prepare the Base

Layer the sirloin chops at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the chopped onion and tomato on top. For richer flavor, brown the chops in a pan before slow cooking.

Mix the Sauce

In a bowl, combine tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown vinegar, beef broth, and brown sugar. If you prefer deeper aromas, add garlic and a pinch of chili flakes. Stir until the ingredients blend into a fragrant sauce.

Assemble the Dish

Pour the sauce evenly over the meat and vegetables. Cover and cook on high for approximately 3 hours. The meat will become tender, infused with a slightly sweet, tangy, and savory profile—thanks to the balance of vinegar and sauce.

Final Touch

If you prefer a thick sauce, dissolve cornstarch in cold water and mix it in during the last 30 minutes. Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top before serving.

Serving Ideas

This casserole pairs beautifully with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.

Conclusion

This slow-cooker casserole is comfort food at its finest: minimal effort, maximal warmth. The long, gentle cooking makes the meat fall-apart tender and infuses the sauce with deep, nostalgic flavor—ideal for family dinners and leftovers that taste even better the next day.
