Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with a bit of coconut oil and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well mixed and set aside.
In another bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly with a whisk. Add the melted coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, fold the mixtures together gently until no dry spots remain. Take care not to overmix the batter.
Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Run a knife around the edges, then turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Paleo Bolo de Chocolate plain, or garnish with fresh berries and a drizzle of melted dark chocolate if desired.
