Preheat the oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Grease and line an 8-inch round springform pan with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer for about 5 minutes, until pale and doubled in volume.
Stir in the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture. Gently fold this mixture into the beaten eggs, combining thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, sift together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate and egg mixture until fully incorporated, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and gently smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the sides of the springform pan. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
