Black Onyx Cocoa Powder

Black Onyx Cocoa Powder - This is the secret to those dramatic, jet-black baked goods that make people do a double-take! Black Onyx cocoa undergoes extreme Dutch processing - alkalized to a pH of 8 until it turns that striking purplish-black color that makes regular cocoa look brown in comparison.

Here's the baking science you need to know: this ultra-alkalized cocoa has almost no fat (10-12% less than regular cocoa), which can create drier baked goods if you're not prepared.We recommend replacing just 25-50% of your regular cocoa with Black Onyx to get that dramatic darkness without sacrificing moisture.

For leavening, Black Onyx won't react with baking soda since it's non-acidic. Use baking powder instead, or mix it half-and-half with natural cocoa (which is acidic) if you want to use baking soda.

Perfect for brownies, chocolate cookies, and cakes where you want that striking black-as-coal appearance with rich, bittersweet notes. It's the same type of cocoa used in Oreos - now you can create that dramatic darkness in your own kitchen!
