Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Melt dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and sugar together until pale and thick, about 5 minutes.

Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and stir to combine.

Mix in vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.

Fold in ground almonds and cocoa powder gently until no streaks remain.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Invert onto a serving plate and remove the parchment paper.

Allow to cool completely before serving.
