Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and perfect rise.
- In a bowl, mix almond flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until you achieve a dark sandy mixture free of lumps.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and thick.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gently using a spatula until just combined; small lumps are okay.
- Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch round baking pan and spread evenly before placing it in the oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean; let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
