Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a bundt pan by greasing it thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.
Make the caramel: In a small saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it melts into a golden-brown liquid. Optionally, stir in 1 tablespoon of rum once melted. Carefully pour the caramel into the bottom of the bundt pan, tilting to spread evenly. Set aside.
Prepare the flan layer: In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, cream cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. Gently pour the flan mixture over the caramel layer in the bundt pan.
Prepare the cake layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the dark rum and milk. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Carefully spoon the cake batter over the flan mixture in the bundt pan. It will rise to the top as it bakes.
Create a water bath: Place the bundt pan inside a larger baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the bundt pan. This will help the flan cook gently and evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the cake portion comes out clean.
Remove the bundt pan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate the flan cake for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to set fully.
When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges of the bundt pan to loosen the flan cake. Place a plate upside-down over the pan, invert, and gently lift the pan away. The caramel will flow over the flan.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy this decadent Rum Flan Cake!
