Flavor Profile

Our dark cocoa powder has rich chocolate flavor and a lower fat percentage than normal baking cocoas. Pairs really well with cinnamon.

How to Use

Suggested use is about a 25-50% mixture of black cocoa powder with natural or Dutch cocoa. Add to black onyx cocoa to cakes, brownies, cookies, and more for darker, richer and chocolatier baked good.

About The Spice

This black cocoa powder has been alkalized to the extreme, producing a dark, purplish black cocoa that makes for an impressive black-as-coal baked good. This extreme alkalization neutralizes the natural bitterness, removing some of its chocolate flavor and a lot of its butter fat (10-12%).

More Information

If needed, you can increase the fat content by adding more butter, egg yolk or changing to a heavier milk; whichever applies to your particular recipe. “All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.” -Charles M. Schulz

What is black cocoa powder?

Black cocoa powder, or dark cocoa, is cocoa powder that has been alkalized to the point in which it turns a purplish, black color and has a much richer cocoa flavor.

What is black cocoa powder used for?

Black cocoa is used to both darken and make more rich most chocolate baked good or dessert recipes, especially those that call for a more dark chocolatey flavor.

Black cocoa powder is made by ultra-processing standard Dutch cocoa powder and alkalizing it to the point in which there is reduced acidity, smoother texture and darker color.

What is the difference between cocoa powder and black cocoa powder?

Standard cocoa powder doesn't go through as many processing or alkalizing as black cocoa powder does. Black cocoa is also richer in flavor, smoother in texture and darker in color.
