Black Cocoa Powder isn't like traditional cocoa powder or even dark cocoa powder. This is strong, bitter black cocoa powder. Think: Oreo cookies.

Black cocoa powder is processed with an alkaline solution to neutralize its natural acidity, which darkens the color and results in a strong chocolate flavor. Black cocoa powder is practically charcoal black and has deep, intense chocolate flavor.

Black cocoa powder will not react with baking soda and will prevent rising in baked goods. However, if your recipe calls for baking powder — which contains the acid needed for leavening — you can use black cocoa powder.

Black cocoa powder is nearly fat free. We get good results when we combine black cocoa powder with regular Dutch cocoa powder at a 50/50 ratio. This keeps the recipe from turning out dry and crumbly but also ensures intense chocolate flavor.

Adam G. ★★★★★

This stuff is a game-changer for anyone who bakes. The bitter, almost Oreo-like depth it gives to cookies and cakes is unreal, and a little goes a long way. I've already gone through half the bag in a week.

Abigail ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the alkaline processing making a difference, but this powder really does have that distinct, almost smoky bitterness that's perfect for my black velvet cakes.

Stella ★★★★★

That deep Oreo-style bitterness is exactly what I've been hunting for in my brownies, and a single tablespoon completely transformed the color and taste. It's almost black in the bowl, so I dialed back the sugar and ended up with a dark, fudgy crumb that tastes like the cookie filling.
