1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, almond extract, applesauce, and water until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Don't overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
