Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). Grease and line a 22cm (9-inch) round cake tin with baking paper.
Place the dark chocolate in the Thermomix bowl. Chop for 10 seconds on Speed 8 until finely ground.
Add the butter to the Thermomix bowl. Melt the chocolate and butter together for 3 minutes at 50°C on Speed 2, or until smooth and glossy.
Add the sugar, almond meal, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Mix for 10 seconds on Speed 4 until well combined.
With the Thermomix running on Speed 3, add the eggs one at a time through the lid, allowing each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and mix again for 5 seconds on Speed 4 to ensure a uniform batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the cake is set and a skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with cocoa powder, if desired, before serving. Enjoy!
