Quick chocolate cake recipe

From the "good things need to be shared" section, a recipe that's been floating around my mother's side of the family, for some really delicious chocolate cake. While rich in sugar and fat, it doesn't involve flour, so it should be suitable for people looking for gluten-free recipes.

Ingredients

Instructions

The oven needs to be pre-heated to 160°C (320 F) upper and lower heat.

Melt the butter and chocolate.
(I do that in the mixing bowl in the microwave, at a relatively low setting (380 watts), stirring every two minutes to see if the chocolate has melted.)

Add almonds, sugar, vanilla sugar, and baking powder, and mix.

Add eggs and mix.
(I'm a bit worried about eggs curdling if the chocolate/butter mix is too warm, so I add them after all the dry and cold ingredients are in.)

Pour into a round pan (greased or lined with baking paper) and bake for 40 minutes at 160°C (320 F) upper and lower heat.

Variation

The original recipe I got called for sifting powdered sugar on top after letting it cool, but I don't think that's neccessary.

My attempt to figure this out in North American measurements:
