These are two different flourless chocolate cakes you could make. One is harder to make and in my opinion tastes better, but they are both very good. One uses cocoa powder and the other uses melted chocolate. The second version is very creamy, while the first cake is more solid.

Note: The sugar substitute I used was Swerves Confectioners so if you are using a granulated 1:1 sugar sub you may want to use a little less
