Cocoa Powder is a popular ingredient used in a variety of sweet treats, including hot chocolate, cakes, and cookies. It is made by grinding cocoa beans into a fine powder and removing the cocoa butter, leaving behind the cocoa solids. It is a rich, dark powder that is perfect for adding chocolate flavour to any recipe. Cocoa Powder is available in both natural and Dutch-processed varieties. It is acidic and has a strong, bitter flavour, while Dutch-processed cocoa powder has been treated with an alkali to neutralize the acidity, resulting in a smoother, milder taste.
