Kodrit Kadir (Magic Caramel Cake)
A magic "two-in-one" dessert: a crème caramel base and a cocoa sponge batter baked together in a water bath, so that during baking the cocoa cake layer rises to the top while the caramel custard sets below.

Instructions
TRICKS: I put in the sugar, and after it melted I took it out, let it cool slightly, poured in the crème caramel mixture, then the cake batter on top, and baked for about 50 minutes at 180 degrees. For the last 10 minutes I covered it with foil.
The first step of the Kodrit Kadir recipe is preparing the caramel and the separate mixtures for the dessert.
For the white mixture: Pour 1/3 tea cup of sugar onto the bottom of the cake tin in which you will bake the dessert and place it in the oven at 250 degrees until the sugar caramelizes (under constant watch). Meanwhile, prepare the two mixtures. Beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla, then add the milk and stir again for the caramel mixture.
For the cake mixture, first beat the eggs with the sugar, oil and milk, then add the sifted flour with the cocoa and baking powder and, stirring constantly, add them to the liquid.
Once the sugar has melted and the caramel is ready, remove the tin from the oven and lower the oven to 180 degrees. Let the caramel cool a little, then pour the crème caramel mixture into the tin. Pour the cake batter into the caramel mixture, distributing it evenly. During baking the cocoa cake mixture will rise to the surface and bake.
Bake the kodrit kadir in a preheated 180-degree oven for about 60 minutes in a water bath, placing the tin with the dessert in a deep tray filled with water. Once the kodrit kadir is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. Leave it with the water bath in the refrigerator overnight. The next day turn it out onto a platter.
