Steps to make Halloween Skull Chocolate Cake:

1. Preheat oven to 160°C/320°F..

When you see it’s almost melted, remove from heat and let the remaining heat in pan finish the melting. Now you have the chocolate soup. Set aside for now..

5. Finally mix the flour with the baking powder and cocoa powder and sift to get rid of the lumps. Add it to the butter and egg mixture and mix. Lastly pour in the chocolate “soup” from earlier and stir in a circular motion until all ingredients are well incorporated..

8. To check if it’s ready, poke with a knife - if it comes out dry it’s good to go..
9. Let the cake cool completely. This is very important because the sugar will melt if it is not completely cool..
10. Remove the cake from the mold and place on a plate with a paper lace doily..
