Roast the Almonds
Line a baking sheet with baking paper and roast the almonds at 200°C until they turn golden brown.

Prepare the batter
In a bowl, beat the eggs together with the light caster sugar, vanilla paste, and salt until well combined. Add the coconut oil and milk, and mix again. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and baking powder, and mix until the batter is smooth.

Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into a greased and lined baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out dry. Let the cake cool completely.

Make the Chocolate Ganache
In a saucepan, bring the unwhipped whipping cream to a boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chocolate drops. Let it stand for a minute. After a minute, stir the mixture until smooth. Add the chopped almonds and mix until combined.

Absolutely delicious! The almond crunch paired perfectly with the rich chocolate ganache.
Nutty and moist, though slightly dense. I’ll try whipping the eggs longer next time to lighten the texture.
