Cocoa powder

Bakery & breakfast

Cocoa powder offers an intense, slightly bitter chocolate flavour. It is a versatile baking ingredient that adds colour and depth. There is natural cocoa powder and Dutch-processed (alkalised) cocoa powder, with the latter being milder and darker.

Cocoa powder is primarily used in recipes for baking cakes and sweet dishes. It is often combined with sugar, eggs, plain flour, baking powder, and butter to create classics like marble cake, Danube waves, or Tiramisu. It is also used for chocolate sauces and healthy chocolate.
