Heat the oven to 170 °C and prepare the cake tin. Mix cacao powder with boiling water and mix it until you have a chocolate paste. Mix in the vanilla and set aside. In another bowl mix almond flour, baking soda and salt. In the third bowl whisk olive oil, eggs and coconut sugar (for about 3 minutes). Mix in the chocolate paste and the almond flour mix. Put the batter in the cake tin and bake it for about 40 minutes. Serve with a wonderful chocolate ganache or ice cream.
