(Alkalized / Dutch-Process Black) - Black Dutch-process Cacao Powder From Latin America. Alkalized Cacao Powder, Pure, Non-gmo, Vegan, Gluten-free

This cocoa powder is the best! It will help you achieve black buttercream without needing food coloring. And it makes the frosting taste like an Oreo cookie. I tried another brand prior to this one and it was only dark brown even though it claimed to be black. This brand is truly black. And it’s a huge bag too! I love it!

I am an avid baker who has been baking for over half a century. My husband loves dark chocolate, so I love to soothe his sweet tooth...lol. The Cocoa Trader got several good reviews so I thought I would give it a whirl. I stumbled across a truly decadent Midnight Black Chocolate cake recipe with Black buttercream frosting. The recipe itself was in need of tweaking only where volume is concerned. The taste, moistness, color & flavor was spot on!!! Many people were complaining about being able to achieve a truly black chocolate cake & frosting. The Cocoa Trader came through with flying colors!!! The frosting needed to be tweaked for volume & a little tweaking for the black color, but again, it passed mustard! I am truly happy with my purchase & although this product is pricy it's worth it's weight in gold. I highly recommend buying this product. You won't regret it.

First time purchasing the black cocoa powder and worked great. Gave me the black icing I was wanting and it tasted good also. Thank you!

We had an outer space party for my son and wanted black icing, but didn’t want the bitter taste often associated with black dye. This cocoa was the perfect ingredient to create a natural black icing that didn’t stain our mouths and actually tasted like an Oreo cookie. We use this cocoa whenever we need to make a natural black icing, and it never disappoints. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delicious, dye-free alternative!

I bought this black cocoa to make black cocoa cupcakes filled with cheesecake for my birthday. I also use sit to make black buttercream frosting which I swirled with cream cheese frosting. Let me tell you, the cupcakes were freaking fantastic. This cocoa is delicious and easy to work with. Since making the cupcakes, I've also made black chocolate brownies, which were so delicious and decadent. I highly recommend this cocoa powder specifically if you want to bake with black cocoa. Just remember that baking with black cocoa is different than baking with Dutch process cocoa. You'll need different ingredients to make your baked goods come out properly. Look for recipes specifically for black cocoa powder, and you'll be fine. Oh, and for those wondering what it tastes like: Black cocoa tastes like Oreo cookie wafers. (Oreo uses black cocoa in their cookie wafers.) It's a different taste to milk chocolate or regular dark chocolate, but just as decadent.
