  1. Mix together almond flour, salt, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a small bowl

  3. In a larger bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetener, vanilla, and coffee powder if using
  4. Slowly pour the melted chocolate/oil combination into the wet ingredients while whisking until fully incorporated. Don't go too fast so that the raw eggs don't cook upon contact.

  6. Pour the batter into an 8 x 8 pan that is greased or lined with wax paper and greased.
  7. Sprinkle the top with the remaining ¼ cup chocolate and gently press into the batter.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Let cool completely before cutting in.
