Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a 20 cm (8-inch) round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine almond flour and baking powder. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or over a double boiler. Once melted, add erythritol sweetener and mix well until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, whisking well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually fold the almond flour mixture into the wet ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the topping. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream and cocoa powder.
Stir continuously until the mixture begins to simmer, then add the sugar-free milk chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat and allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly.
Once the cake is baked and slightly cooled, spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the top.
Chop the salted almonds roughly and sprinkle them over the chocolate topping.
Allow the cake to cool completely and for the topping to set before slicing and serving.
