Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
-
In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave or double boiler. Pour it over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top.

Let the chocolate set before serving. Enjoy!
