Using an electric whisk, beat together the butter and sugar until light and creamy then beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the lemon zest and vanilla. Now beat in the flour and almonds until you have a thick batter. The batter should be loose enough that it falls off a wooden spoon, if it's too thick mix in a splash of milk.
- Tip the batter into the tin and smooth over the top. Bake for 55 mins - 1hr until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven then leave to cool for 15 mins then remove from the tin, peel away the paper and leave on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. The loaf will keep in an airtight container for three days.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just increase the baking time to 35-40 minutes.
- To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you want a smooth, glossy frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese together until they are light and fluffy before adding the powdered sugar.
- For a more decadent frosting, add a few tablespoons of melted chocolate or caramel sauce to the frosting.
- If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought frosting instead of making your own.
- You can decorate the cake with fresh fruit, chocolate chips, or sprinkles.
