Have you ever used it?? I ordered some from the King Arthur Flour Co. catalogue. When I got it I opened the bag to check it out. I thought they had sent me coal dust !! The directions say to use it in combination with other cocoa, preferably dutch process. I was making chocolate cookies an decided to give it a shot. OH MY!!!! it is wonderful... dark dark dark and rich cookies. I put mint flavored candy pieces in the cookies. It was like eating a Girl Scout thin mint cookie.. but more so!!! I can't wait to try making a real dark chocolate buttercream with it. This is my find of the month!!
Wish I had known about this stuff yesterday when I was preparing to make my penguins for my non-dairy cake. lol Something to tuck away for the future. Thanks
I use it all the time for my chocolate cakes. I haven't tried it in cookies yet though. I get it from King arthur also. It's great stuff. I use a combination of dutch and black with a touch of espresso powder (also from KAF) for my chocolate cakes. It does have a wonderfully deep rich chocolate flavor!
I recently saw this in a magazine and was intrigued. I dont think it's available in Canada though
Rezzy....do you simply replace part of your cocoa in the recipe with the black stuff, or do you need to fiddle with your recipe a bit??

My regular recipe calls for 3 tbs. cocoa. I just added 1 tb. black cocoa to it for a total of 4 tbs. cocoa. I didn't need to altar the recipe at all.
Here's a link to the King Arthur flour site. Don't know about the shipping costs to Canada though.
