Hi everyone! Finally the time has come to post the recipe of this delicious Vegan Flan Cake.
This recipe does not follow the traditional flan recipes, in fact I added cacao butter and cornstarch for a more delicate and creamier result.
The addition of cacao butter also gives a touch of flavor that is vaguely reminiscent of white chocolate, so if you are passionate about white chocolate this flan is definitely for you!
Can I replace or make the flan without cacao butter?
Unfortunately no, cacao butter is essential for the flavor and texture of this flan. Omitting it would make it less rich and take away that nice white chocolate flavour.
What mold should I use?
Any pudding mold with 1 liter capacity will work just fine. If you want to get the "cake-shape" use a cake mold.
Topping
If you want to be extra you can top your vegan flan cake with some coconut whipped cream. If so check out my guide on How to make the fluffiest Coconut Whipped Cream.

Dil says
Thank you so much for answering my earlier question. Does this taste overly coconut flavoured? (if I tasted the flan with no syrup?) Thank you!
carlocao says
Hi Dil, I don’t understand the question, what do you mean?
Anonymous says
Hi Carlo, thanks for the recipe. It was delicious!
I liked the mold used for the making of the flan. Where did you buy it?
carlocao says
Hi! I’m glad you liked the flan! Regarding the mold, I made it myself but you can find similar molds on amazon. I hope this helps 🙂

Do you think monk fruit or date syrup would be good alternatives to sugar as well?
carlocao says
I‘ve never tried using monk fruit so I can‘t really tell. Date syrup would work but will definitely change the flavour of the flan. I hope this helps 🙂
Dilushani says
If I wanted to avoid refined sugar, what do you suggest?
carlocao says
I‘d use maple syrup or coconut sugar. I hope this helps 🙂
Dilushani says
In equal amounts do you think?
carlocao says
Yes, I‘d use 1 dl of maple syrup or 100 g of coconut sugar 🙂

Can confirm coconut sugar works great, and adds some extra flavor and color if you don't have saffron 🙂
