My guess is the results will not be as good. However, there are recipes out there for this kind of cake that use a cake mix. In fact, there is one on the Betty Crocker website that you might try!Pennylane4647https://www.blogger.com/profile/06193275758700357864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897502584912588258.post-32113920851364395492015-12-09T05:21:04.130-08:002015-12-09T05:21:04.130-08:00Can we use a cake mix instead?Can we use a cake mix instead?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897502584912588258.post-34760637704322511942015-06-20T08:47:18.425-07:002015-06-20T08:47:18.425-07:00yellow or white works as well!

I followed the directions then realized, shouldn't the flan go on the bottom by the caramel (and also to be cooked in the water bath) and the chocolate cake on top? Seems the written directions are wrong but your photo seems to be right.

It is very yummy and not low calorie but the wow factor make it worth it.<br /><br />1) I hate buying 32 oz. of buttermilk when I only need 4 oz. Next time I'll make a substitute with milk and vinegar.<br /><br />2) The flan mix did not fit in my 12-cup blender. I had to blend twice and then combine in a separate container prior to pouring onto the cake. <br /><br />3) Pour the flan VERY carefully onto the uncooked cake batter. the cake started to float before I even had it in the oven. it still came out okay though.<br /><br />3) I used semi sweet chocolate chips. They worked fine and are much cheaper than the bars.<br /><br />4) He cake shrunk quite a bit after cooling and the cake portion collapsed. I guess I have to work on this part.<br /><br />5) I loosened the cake from the pan and put it in the warm water before flipping it. It came out so easy that I'm nost sure I would do the warm water treatment again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897502584912588258.post-66640220316355143852013-11-09T08:33:27.786-08:002013-11-09T08:33:27.786-08:00I just saw a rerun of that episode of Cook's C...I just saw a rerun of that episode of Cook's Country and they used condensed milk. Has anyone tried it with the condensed milk? When I saw this I thought it might be way too sweet, even for flan.<br />edelizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027128187807283914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897502584912588258.post-15680373577264340672013-04-18T17:19:50.039-07:002013-04-18T17:19:50.039-07:00Congratulations to Paul, and all of you, for hurdl...Congratulations to Paul, and all of you, for hurdling one more of life's stresses!<br />Love, mom and dad Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897502584912588258.post-15344390589784205672013-04-17T20:56:35.972-07:002013-04-17T20:56:35.972-07:00It looks AMAZING!!!
