A piece of glazed custard chocolate cake. Finally the local government decided to deactivate the checkpoints. I left my oven at home and I got stuck in a boarding house. Now, we are finally home and I'm reunited with my dear oven. Ha ha! So I decided to bake the sweetest thing.

Ingredients:

custard
4 whole eggs
1 cup condensed milk
1 cup evaporated milk
4 Tbsp brown sugar
chocolate cake
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup white granulated sugar
1/2 cup very hot water
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
ganache
2 Tbsp caramel glaze
4 Tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp flour
2 Tbsp butter

Steps:

Custard

Caramelize sugar in a baking pan over low heat. Stir while it's melting so it doesn't burn. When the sugar is caramelised spread it all over the base of the baking pan. Set aside.
Beat eggs.
Pour condensed milk and evaporated milk. Continue to beat until well incorporated but do not over mix. Strain the mixture.
Pour the mixture in the baking pan with caramelised sugar.

Bake for 15 minutes then remove from oven at 150 C. At this point the custard is half cooked.

Chocolate Cake

Sift together all dry ingredients. Mix well to incorporate.
Crack the egg, then add the oil and milk. Mix well.
Now, add the hot water and continue to mix.
Pour mixture over the custard and put back into the oven.

Bake at 170 C for 30 to 45 minutes.

Ganache

Dissolve cocoa powder in warm milk.
Add sugar and place over low heat. Continue stirring then gradually sprinkle with flour.
Achieve a thick sticky but still a little bit runny texture then remove from heat.
Add butter and mix well.
Place cake in a round plate. The custard should be on top.
