Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F) and grease a 22cm (9-inch) round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract, then beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Stir in the ground almonds.
Step 5
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in batches, alternating with the milk. Mix gently until combined.
Step 6
Pour in the melted dark chocolate and fold through the batter until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
