I am freshman student at city college taking basic English  091 and I'm writing an essay. My question, can I end a sentence with a conjunctive adverb?

Yes,

The cake recipe calls for 4 eggs, half cup of suger, 8 ounces of chocolate and 2 cups of flour for a serving of 6. For more servings, adjust the ingredients accordingly.

I realized that this recipe would not suffice; accordingly, I adjusted the ingredients.


In my opinion, when you put "accordingly" at the end, it doesn't function as a conjunctive adverb.  This is not to say the sentence isn't perfectly fine.
