Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 egg at room temperature, large
- 2 tablespoons milk of choice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the frosting
- 1/2 cup butter softened to room temperature, unsalted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line the bottom of a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper, spraying the sides with cooking spray or oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add in the eggs, milk, and vanilla and whisk until combined.
