My favorite thing about this cake is how remarkably simple it is to pull together. With just twenty minutes of prep, you'll have a decadent dessert ready for the oven. Ground almonds give this flourless beauty a wonderfully moist crumb while providing protein and healthy fats that keep you satisfied. The combination of cocoa powder and milk chocolate creates an intensely chocolatey flavor that feels indulgent without any of the fuss of traditional baking. Once baked, you'll have a stunning cake that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen, but really took less than an hour from start to finish.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and position the rack in the center. Prepare a 23cm (9in) round cake pan by greasing it with butter and dusting it with granulated sugar.
Tip: To ensure even baking, rotate the cake pan halfway through the cooking time.

In a medium bowl, whisk together ground almonds, cocoa powder, and salt.
Tip: Make sure to sift the cocoa powder to avoid lumps.
- 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and eggs. Beat the mixture using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Tip: Use room temperature eggs for the best results.

Melt the milk chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval.
Tip: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.

Add the melted chocolate to the sugar and egg mixture. Beat until well combined.
Tip: Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl and ensure all ingredients are incorporated.

Add the almond mixture to the chocolate mixture. Beat until just combined.
Tip: Avoid overmixing, as it can result in a dense cake.

Add the unsalted butter, softened, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Tip: Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl.
