How to Make Flourless Chocolate Almond Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s nice and hot to give your cake the perfect rise and a beautifully baked finish.
  2. Mix the almond flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk together the eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract in another bowl until thoroughly blended.
  4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry, folding gently until just mixed.
  5. Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch round baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Optional: Top with sliced almonds for an added crunch and presentation.
