You need to do some SERIOUS study with this particular Black Cocoa or ANY Black Cocoa Powder that is dark as this—using the naked eye.
If you do not believe me, go on Google or go on YouTube and search for black cocoa and you will see ‘visibly’ what comes up is NOWHERE as JET black—as this. Yet it will most likely still be labeled—Black Cocoa.
THIS...(that I’m reviewing) would definitely be the BRUTE of a an excellent glass Champagne. When I first tasted Brute Champagne...lest just say NOT what I thought...till I matured.
This stuff here—is seriously powdered “Kingsford” charcoal in color and that color means something if you are considerIng swapping this here ‘cup for cup’ —in your favorite chocolate cake recipe.
WORD OF CAUTION...DO NOT. Just....don’t.
I KNOW how to bake and I sell cakes. I am not however, scientific with reactions and results. I used a recipe calling for 1 2/3 cups of ‘black cocoa powder’. She stated it was a recipe for a ‘wedding cake’ and it looked moist...beautiful. Black.
I wanted that. And I wanted it for not a wedding cake but the amount of cake itself it would yield for what I was doing.
Suffice to say—she may have used (for all I know) Hersheys Special Dark because her recipe (even her comments before the recipe) did not mention anything on WHAT she used.
To be honest when most people bake and say they used BC powder, it is more likely it is Hershey’s SD because it does produce a ‘dark’ cake. Now don’t get me wrong I DO love me some H S/D.
But I wanted BLACK. So here’s what I’ve learned after using this BRUTE BCP.
The blacker the Cocoa...the more ‘dutched’. The more dutched means less acidic due to high treatment of Alkaline which from what I understand (AFTER the fact of using—still good) the TEXTURE and height—WILL BE affected and THAT...
IS CRUCIAL.
So ‘cut’ your cups used. If the recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of cocoa powder and you want to use black—use 1 cup of cocoa powder and test with 1/2 cup of THIS brand— black. And that is what I used in my most favorite chocolate cake recipe however....While the results was better than the cup for cup swap out that this other recipe call for—
I think next time I will use a ratio of : 1 1/4 cup cocoa powder + 1/4 of this Beautiful yet dangerous (if you don’t know what your doing)
....Jet Black Cocoa Powder. Good Stuff.
And one more thing. Someone said on here that the package says “not for taste” or something of that effect....that is true. This level of Cocoa does not have a distinct chocolate flavor but a ‘note’.
That is because of the processing of it being HIGHLY Dutch. It is or would be best for color but it does add a good earthy chocolate NOTE in flavor.
I hope all of that made sense because I really think this is an excellent, diamond rated Cocoa Black.
But to avoid giving an unfair rating—know what your doing with this Black Cocoa because you maybe expecting something that is just not going to happen with it depending on what may be.
To obtain a darker, tastier sauce, I have read from Amazon user reviews that you should combine both the super-dutched (overprocessed) black onyx cocoa and a natural, less-alkalized cocoa. I uploaded a picture including this cocoa, another brand of black onyx cocoa by Blommers, and Guittard’s less-alkalized cocoa, which is a redder powder. I also uploaded a picture of several cocoas I purchased for comparison.
—Cocoa Traders is supposed to offer an organic, fair-trade onyx cocoa, which I appreciate but cannot test. What I can mention is that it is a darker cocoa than the Blommers, and it smells richer. I know that is not very descriptive, but it could be due to the Blommers sitting in my cabinet longer. The Blommers version is grayer. Both work for creating a darker sauce, but the Blommers definitely needs cutting with the Guittard cocoa because it lacks dimension. The Cocoa Traders cocoa made a tasty sauce without first mixing with another cocoa. I did not taste any burnt quality. CT tastes like an oreo cookie. It makes a fabulously dark chocolate sauce with thickened water.
—The Guittard cocoa is a rich reddish-brown and smells fruitier. It has a lovely taste that stands out on its own, but it makes a sauce that doesn’t look dark enough to me. The taste is phenominal, though. I found it locally at Giant. It states that it is dutch-processed to be that mohogany-wine red, and I may like the taste more because I love the color and smell.
—Valrhona Cocoa: So many reviewers state that the professional cooks use this brand, so I had to include it. It reminds me of the Hershey’s special dark cocoa. It is darker than average, smells one-dimensional, and tastes fine. I did not feel or taste anything special with my admittedly unrefined taste buds. I guess it would blend with anything because it lacks any obvious strong qualities. It is not sharp. I actually prefer the Guittard or Cocoa Trader to this, straight up, because they have extra qualities I can use, if I learn how to properly cook.
—-King Arthur Black Onyx Cocoa: Surprisingly, it is not nearly as dark as The Cocoa Trader. I was disappointed. A good whiff from the bag did not give me any impression as to fruitiness and it did not smell especially like cocoa. Like Valrhona, I suspect it will blend into any recipe where other ingredients are supposed to star. However, for my purpose, I will order The Cocoa Trader or Guittard. The best quality for King Arthur's black cocoa is the large amount included.
—Hershey’s Special Dark: This brand surprised me. I was expecting bland, but the smell is heavenly. Really, I immediately pictured Charlie’s Chocolate Factory when I smelled it. The taste is not so awesome, but for the price, it is an excellent cocoa. It will definitely add that dimension other cocoas lack. I should stop expecting the worse for something that only cost $3 on sale. Amazing.
—Healthworks cocoa and Equal Exchange: organic. Remind me of regular Hershey’s. Okay, nothing special. Not strong in smell, but nothing objectionable. Taste is unexceptional. I would not buy them again.
—Wondercocoa: Ghastly. Pale, greyish white, or bluish-gray. It was the palest of the lineup, and it smelled like day-old socks, or like a musty attic. I could not believe all the great reviews online. The cocoa syrup also tasted like a poor knockoff. Unfortunately, I accidentally bought 2!
My recipe:
* 12 oz. empty pour bottle and funnel.
* 1 tsp or so Xantham Gum, Guar Gum, or even Psyllium husks to thicken.
* 1 TBSP of onyx cocoa or cocoa mix (about 30 cal.)
* Thickened water or chai tea or watered down coffee to fill the bottle.
Fill the bottle but leave some headroom to shake.
Shake vigorously to mix.
Optional: Top it off with Torani’s dark Chocolate coffee flavouring, sugar-free.
Considering my inability to measure exactly, I guess it may be 40 cal/12 oz = 3.1 cal per TBSP. Not bad. And I have made dozens of refills so far.
