Pour the flan mixture very slowly over the cake batter.

Spray aluminum foil with non-stick spray (like Pam);.

cover the pan TIGHTLY with aluminum foil.

(Covering tightly is very important.) Set the Bundt pan into a large pan and set on the oven rack and slide into the oven.

Carefully pour hot water into the larger pan to a depth of 2 inches (The Bundt pan will be sitting in 2 inches of water).

Bake cake for 2 hours (test); do not uncover during this time.

After two hours

remove cake from water and allow to cool for 15 minutes.  Peel off the aluminum foil.

Invert cake onto a large plate with rim.

The cajeta will drip down the sides of the cake.

Cool completely then refrigerate.  Refrigerate leftovers.

Note: Even though the flan is poured on top of the cake batter

it will sink to the bottom of the pan.
