This heavily alkalised cocoa powder has an exceptionally deep black colour, allowing you to achieve dramatic results without relying on large amounts of black food colouring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike regular brown cocoa powder, black cocoa has been heavily processed to produce its distinctive colour and a smooth, mild cocoa flavour. It's particularly useful for black velvet cakes, Oreo-style cookies, dark chocolate biscuits, black buttercream and striking monochrome or Halloween-themed desserts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe deep colour is especially useful when making black frosting or cake batter, as you can achieve a much darker result without having to add large quantities of gel food colouring. The flavour is milder and less bitter than natural cocoa, making it well suited to recipes where you want the appearance of dark chocolate without an intensely strong cocoa flavour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlack cocoa powder is not a direct substitute for every type of cocoa powder. Because it has been heavily alkalised, it does not provide the acidity needed to react with baking soda in recipes that rely on that reaction for rising. For best results, follow the recipe's instructions regarding the type and quantity of cocoa powder required.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNet Weight: 500g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisit our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thepartyroom.co.nz\/collections\/decorating-ingredients\" title=\"cake decorating ingredients nz\"\u003eDecorating Ingredients\u003c\/a\u003e collection for more options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cake Craft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49588904263908,"sku":"X BCP-500G","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0257\/6718\/2416\/files\/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJ3ZWItbmluamEtaW1hZ2VzIiwia2V5IjoiYmJuelwvaW1hZ2VzXC9wcm9kaW1nXC83ODAwMDMyOV81LmpwZyIsImVkaXRzIjp7InJlc2l6ZSI6eyJ3aWR0aCI6NzAwLCJoZWlnaHQiOjcwMCwiZml0IjoiaW5zaWRlIiwid2l.webp?v=1786181256","url":"https:\/\/www.thepartyroom.co.nz\/products\/black-cocoa-powder-500g","provider":"The Party Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
