Ingredients
Method
Preparation of Sponge Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch flan pan to prevent sticking.
- In a bowl, whisk together 3 eggs and 1/2 cup sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Fold in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1 tsp baking powder until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared flan pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow it to cool.
Preparation of Custard
- In a saucepan, heat 2 cups of milk over medium heat until warm.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 egg yolks, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1 tbsp cornstarch.
- Slowly whisk in the warm milk to avoid curdling the eggs. Return this mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until it thickens.
- Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract for flavor.
Assembling the Flan
- Pour the creamy custard over the cooled sponge cake.
- Arrange 1 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup blueberries, and 1/2 cup raspberries on top of the custard.
- In another saucepan, dissolve 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp cornstarch in 1/2 cup water. Simmer until thickened.
- Brush this mixture over the fruits to give them a glossy finish.
- Chill the flan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
This flan can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. For freezing, store the sponge cake and custard separately from the fruits.
