Callebaut Black Cocoa Powder 500g

Black cocoa powder is super black, having been heavily "dutched" or alkalised. It has a smoother non-bitter taste but doesn't taste like chocolate like a normal dutch cocoa. This ultra black colour is achieved without using any artificial colourings, meaning it is an amazing way to get make cake batter or buttercream a truly gorgeous black. Unlike black gel colouring, black cocoa powder won't stain your teeth. When baking with black cocoa powder, you must remember that you can't swap normal cocoa powder with black cocoa powder. Normal cocoa powder can be acidic (natural) or neutral (dutched), so always stick with the type of cocoa called for in your recipe. You can swap natural cocoa powder for black cocoa powder, but doing it the other way around can result in a flat cake and sunken cupcakes. Black cocoa powder, as well as normal dutch cocoa powder, won't react with baking soda to help your cakes rise. Halal and Kosher approved. Best before 04/26 Product of Malaysia.
