Preheat the oven to 180°C (350ºfF). Grease two 20cm round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition.
Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl for a smooth batter.

With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the almond milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat just until combined.
Tip: Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Add the treacle, golden syrup, and vanilla extract to the batter. Mix until just combined.
Tip: The batter should still be slightly lumpy.

Melt the dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 10-second increments, stirring between each interval.
Tip: Let the chocolate cool slightly before folding it into the batter.

Fold the melted chocolate into the batter until just combined.
Tip: Don't overmix the batter at this stage.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
Tip: Make sure the batter is evenly distributed for an even bake.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
Tip: Don't open the oven door during the baking time.

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tip: This will help the cakes retain their shape.
