Daredevils’ Impossible Cake

High School and College gradua-tions won't look the same this year due to the pandemic; however, that doesn't mean the graduate can't still be celebrated. Show him, or her, anything is possible even the Dare-devil's Impossible Cake. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and spray a 12-cup bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread 1/4 cup of ca-jeta (Mexican caramel sauce) in the bottom of the bundt pan. In a mixing bowl, add 1 box of chocolate fudge cake mix, 1 1/2 tablespoon of cinna-mon, 1 1/4 cup of water, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and 3 eggs. Mix until all ingredients are well combined. Pour mixture into the prepared bundt pan. Place 4 eggs, 1 cup of milk and 1 14-oz can of condensed milk into a blender. Blend for 10 seconds or until all ingredients are mixed com-pletely and pour mixture over batter. Cover bundt cake pan loosely with aluminum foil and place in a roast-ing dish. Place in center oven rack and fill roasting dish with 1-inch of boiling water. Bake for 45-50 min-utes or when tested with a knife, it comes out clean. Remove from oven and water bath. Uncover and let cool for at least 2 hours. Place a large cake plate over the bundt pan. Invert quickly and remove the pan. Top with more cajeta sauce. Slice and serve with dollops of whip cream.
