Chop the almonds in a food processor and set aside.

Beat the carrots, orange, coconut oil, eggs and sugar in a blender.

In a large container combine the flour, baking powder and crushed almonds, add the mixture from the blender and mix until obtaining a homogeneous mass.

Place the dough in the mold and bake for 35 minutes or until the inside is dry.

For the frosting: Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a bowl with the butter.

Heat the milk and when it is almost boiling, add it to the chocolate and butter and stir until completely melted. Pour this creamy frosting over the cake.

Sprinkle the cake with the orange zest.
