Skinny Chocolate Cake

Skinny Chocolate Cake -- A Pinch of Joy #Decadent Dessert

Super moist Skinny Chocolate Cake is a quick to make decadent dessert.  Five minutes and it is in the oven and twenty five minutes later the cake is cooling on the rack.  That’s the longest part of the process — waiting for it to cool down.  You can pass the time by stirring up the […]
