Use brown cocoa instead" Is printed directly on the package, under the nutrition info. (See product image #6 above.) It gave my cookies a taste somewhere between "burnt" and "too much baking soda". Quite dark, though! **Q: Can you mix this with regular natural cocoa for example 1/4 dutch process with 1/4 cup natural cocoa?** A: You can, butbfor me, it's way too dark. I just made coffee that way and have icecream going. I'm hoping I didn't waste my ingredients. Next time, I'll be trying a ratio somewhere around 1/8 dark, maybe 1/8 cocao butter, and 6/8 natural chocolate. I'll be eyeballing it in 1/4 cup measuring cups though. Hope this helps someone. **Q: my recipe calls for dutch processed cocoa will this be to strong? should I mix a teaspoon of regular cocoa?** A: Black cocoa is not stronger, it's just darker colored. It also has a slightly different flavor, than cocoa that is lighter colored—but the difference is subtle and it's a good flavor. I don't think there will be any problem. Dutch Processed cocoa is less acid than "natural" cocoa. Both are good, it just depends on what you want. Recipes with Natural Cocoa often add a bit of baking soda to counteract the acidity. This is not necessary if you use Dutch Processed Cocoa. **Q: Does anyone else's bag have a sticker that says "NOT to be used as a flavor agent...use only to add dark color to bake goods..."?** A: Mine has that statement but is not a sticker - it is part of the print on the package. It says that for flavor to "use brown cocoa instead", which seems to strange to me and unexpected. This make me think that I should return it but perhaps I should try it anyway since many have said that it does have a good flavor (?) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Black Cocoa Powder - Perfect for cookies *by H***. on February 25, 2026* Great cocoa powder.

So good! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OUTSTANDING TRUE BLACK COCOA!!! *by L***D on September 6, 2025* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - THE COCOA TRADER – Black Cocoa Powder for Baking 1Lb – Darkest Dutch Processed, Alkalized, Unsweetened Chocolate Flavor | Natural Food Coloring Substitute | Vegan, Gluten- & Sugar-Free, Keto Friendly - Chefmaster Royal Blue Liqua-Gel® Food Coloring | Vibrant Color | Professional-Grade Dye for Icing, Frosting, Fondant | Baking & Decorating | Fade-Resistant | Easy-to-Use | Made in USA | 2.3 oz - Black Cocoa Powder (8 oz) Bake the Darkest Chocolate Baked Goods, Achieve Rich Chocolate Flavor, Natural Substitute for Black Food Coloring, Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder, Unsweetened, Extra Dark, Fair Trade Certified --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/15041592-black-cocoa-powder-for-baking-1-lb-dutch-processed-dark](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/15041592-black-cocoa-powder-for-baking-1-lb-dutch-processed-dark) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
