- Be sure to use a good quality caramel sauce for the best flavor.
- If you prefer a chocolate cake, you can substitute a chocolate cake mix for the yellow cake mix.
- Substitute coconut oil for the vegetable oil for a tropical flavor. Coconut oil has a higher smoke point and is a healthier alternative than vegetable oil.
- Substitute almond milk for the evaporated milk for a vegan-friendly option. Almond milk is a dairy-free alternative and has a nutty flavor that pairs nicely with the almond extract in the recipe.
Chocolate Caramel Flan Cake Replace the yellow cake mix with a chocolate cake mix. Replace the caramel sauce with chocolate sauce. Replace the vanilla extract with chocolate extract.
Spicy Mexican Rice: A flavorful accompaniment to the Mexican Caramel Flan Cake, this spicy Mexican Rice is made with jalapenos, garlic, and cilantro and is sure to add a punch of flavor to the meal.
