      You order it on line from The Bakers Kitchen. One warning: if you use it instead of a regular Cocoa, ounce for ounce, your baked good will be much stickier than you anticipated. I️ use it in my Black Magic layer cake and I️ use 1/2Hersheys cocoa and 1/2 black cocoa.

    Why not toast the chocolate cocoa powder. I always toast the cocoa powder when I make something with cocoa powder that won’t be baked. It gives it a deeper color and richer flavor.

    JJR - How would this work on Swiss meringue butter cream? When I make chocolate SMBC I always melt dark chocolate, let it cool slightly and then mix it the BC. Would adding cocoa powder give it a slightly chalky taste? Or do you suppose adding something like instant coffee mixed with the cocoa would disguise the chalkiness?

    • @viabrus8609
      @viabrus8609 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You have to be careful with charcoal as it can cause many medications to not work because charcoal is used to pull toxins out of things (that's why they use it in hospitals to help purge people who need their stomach pumped or have swallowed poisons) so if you're serving guests, you don't know what meds everyone is on and that is a big risk. Also, it tastes nasty if used in a large amount that would result in the cake tasting bitter and like ash.
