Flourless Chocolate Cake with Caramel Cream

Make this Flourless Chocolate Cake with Caramel Cream for your next get together

For Gabriella’s Star Wars Birthday Party, she asked me to make a Chewbacca Cake!  She loves chocolate like really loves chocolate.  So I thought I would make this cake and have a caramel cream filling added too!  We had some guests that are gluten-free, so I knew this cake was perfect.  This Flourless Chocolate Cake is like a fudgy brownie even better for my chocoholic girl.  The caramel cream, when paired with fudginess of the cake, is simply awesome.

I loved how this cake came out as it has the colors of Chewbacca. Not only are the colors amazing, but the flavors are banging!  Melt in your mouth chocolate cake with creamy caramel filling made me forget that this was a birthday cake for a three-year-old.

I decided I was not going to frost the cake as I wanted the cake and filling speak for itself.  I topped it with a Chewbacca figure and bang- A Chewbacca Cake!
