Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.
Flan cake, sometimes called magic cake, bakes a sponge and a custard together in one pan. Stacking store-bought pieces gives the same caramel-soaked layers with no oven.
Make it a learning moment: watch the caramel. It runs down and soaks into the cake, a little like water into a sponge.
