1/4 teaspoon (1g) salt
1 1/2 teaspoons (6g) baking powder
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup (100g) sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon (5g) vanilla extract
1/2 cup (120ml) milk
Cheesecake
1 pack (8oz -230g) cream cheese, room temperature
4 eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons (10g) vanilla extract
1 can (14oz-397g) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12oz -350g) condensed milk
1. Add sugar in a small saucepan. Melt over medium-low heat until golden, stirring constantly. Turn off the heat and pour hot caramel into the bottom of a greased 9-10 inch (23-25cm) thick skillet. Rotate pan to spread evenly. Set aside.
2. Prepare the vanilla cake mix. Place in the oven at 350F (180C).
3. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside until ready to use.
4. In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugar and mix until creamy. Mix the eggs one at a time and add the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add flour mixture alternating with milk.
6. Pour batter into caramel-covered pan. Set aside.
7. Prepare the cheese flan. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, vanilla extract, sweetened condensed milk and condensed milk. Mix well until combined.
8. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the vanilla cake batter into the batch pan.
9. Place the bundle pan in a larger pan and add boiling water to cover half the sides of the pan.
10. Bake for 50-60 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, add aluminum foil over the top and continue baking.
11. Remove pan from oven and larger pan and let cool to room temperature.
12. Refrigerate for 4 hours or better overnight.
13. Before removing the cake from the pan, place the cake back in a larger pan filled with hot water to make it easier to remove.
