This dutch cocoa powder adds a rich chocolate flavor to cakes, brownies, and other pastries, making it an excellent addition to any bakery! Cocoa powder comes from the cacao bean, a fully fermented bean of the tropical The obroma cacao plant. Once cocoa butter has been extracted from the cacao beans, the remaining dry substance called cocoa powder, or simply cocoa, has a distinct taste. Used in many confections, it can help create an endless variety of chocolate-flavored treats. Dutch cocoa powder has a light brown color and a soft, floury texture.
Cocoa powder can be used to create irresistible chocolate cobblers, decadent chocolate sauces, or smooth chocolate frostings. Add milk and marshmallows, and warm your customers up with a cup of frothy, creamy hot chocolate. Whether baking cookies, cakes, or macaroons, dutch cocoa powder is a staple in any ice cream shop, bakery, or restaurant. Satisfy customers of all ages, and your chocolate-lovers among them, with rich cocoa taste!
What is the difference between Dutch cocoa and natural cocoa?
At first glance, Dutch-processed cocoa is darker in color than natural cocoa powder. Though both types of cocoa powder are acidic, Dutch cocoa powder has been washed in a potassium solution to neutralize its acidity, which produces its dark, rich color. Natural cocoa powder tends to have a lighter color because of the acids left intact. Most cocoa powder you will find in American grocery stores is natural cocoa powder. In terms of baking, Dutch cocoa powder is often paired with baking powder, whereas natural cocoa powder is usually paired with baking soda.
