FlourlessChocolateCake1FlourlessChocolateCakeFlourlessChocolateCake2Happy Monday! Hope you all had a lovely weekend full of exciting fall and Halloween activities! If you’ve read Sugar and Charm for awhile, you know I’m a fan of making entertaining fun and easy. I love small details that make a dinner party charming. This cake definitely  falls into the “charming” and “easy” categories. The recipe for this yummy flourless chocolate cake has only 4 ingredients! How’s that for easy? To create a festive design, I chose a skull for Halloween. Just use a stencil and then dust powdered sugar on top using a small strainer- sifter. So if you’re hosting a little Halloween get together, this is a sweet way to bring some spooky details to the table!
