MAPLE-CORN FLAN CAKE

 

3/4 c. sugar

3/4 c. thawed nonfat egg substitute, (equivalent to 3 eggs)

2 c. nonfat milk

1 tsp. maple flavoring

1 tsp. vanilla

2 tbsp. instant tapioca

Corn Cake Batter, (see below

1 c. nonfat plain yogurt sweetened to taste (opt.)

 

 

 

 

 

Preheat 10 " round 2 " deep baking pan in 350 degree oven while caramelizing

sugar. Heat 1/2 cup sugar in heavy 10 " skillet over medium heat until bottom

starts to melt. Stir and reduce heat to medium-low. Heat just until golden brown

caramel, stirring occasionally. Quickly pour into hot pan (use oven mitts to

handle hot pan), tilting pan to spread caramel evenly over bottom. Cool.

Whisk egg substitute with nonfat milk, maple flavoring, vanilla and remaining

1/4 cup sugar until smooth. Stir in tapioca and set aside.

 

Prepare Corn Cake Batter.

 

Stir tapioca mixture again to blend, then pour into caramel-lined pan. Carefully

pour in Corn Cake Batter. Place pan in large shallow baking pan and place in 350

degree oven. Pour hot water into larger pan to reach about 1/3 up side of round

cake pan. Bake about 45 minutes or until wood pick inserted in center comes out

clean. Cool 15 minutes on rack. Loosen sides and turn flan cake upside down onto

large serving platter. Serve with nonfat yogurt. Makes 12 servings.
