Best Flan Recipe – Gluten Free – in Every Flavor from Chef Caesar

Best Gluten Free Flan

While recently on vacation in Cabo, I tasted the best flan I have ever had! I used to hate flan because I had only tasted it in the United States where some restaurants use a package mix that contains gelatin. Meanwhile, I developed a recipe for flan using only evaporated milk not too long ago, without any gelatin. It was much better. However, this latest recipe is amazing! The recipe was given to me by Chef, Caesar, at El Molina restaurant, at the Hyatt Ziva in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. (Soon, I’ll share more about this all-inclusive resort in regards to gluten free menus.)

Also, discover the gluten-free white chocolate brand that I use.

Three-Layer Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cup Cake

Three-Layer Gluten Free Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting

The first time I made this cake, I used 5-1/2-inch round cake pans that I found on eBay for a steal of a deal. However, for my husband’s upcoming birthday party, I made an 8-inch three-layer version and froze it. I decorated this one differently as I needed to leave room for the birthday message. It’s a great cake to make in advance. You can defrost it the night before the event, covered, at room temperature. This cake is perfect for Valentine’s Day as well if your sweetheart is peanut-butter-cup-lover.
