- Put your cake pan in a baking pan and put it into the oven. Pour water into the baking pan until it reaches halfway up the cake pan. Lay a tin foil lightly over your flan while baking.
- After 50 minutes your flan should be lightly colored and jiggly. Remove your flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temp. After it has cooled to room temp. let it sit in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
- To serve your flan run a knife around the outter rim of your flan. Get a dish that can fit the cake pan. Put the dish over the cake pan and turn over the flan on to the dish. (Be sure to do this over the sink)

Simply just great! And I did not want to wait 4 hours even though it is better to let it cool down, but either way it is delicious.
