Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or nonstick spray.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, mix 1.5 cups almond flour, 0.5 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add 3 eggs and 0.5 cup melted butter; stir until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Pour batter into the pan and bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool completely.

  4. Step 4

    Whip 0.5 cup heavy cream with 1 tbsp sugar until soft peaks form. Spread over the cooled cake.

  5. Step 5

    Melt 2 oz chocolate in the microwave in 20-second bursts. Drizzle over the frosting. Slice and serve.
