What is Black Cacao?

This mighty fine black cocoa powder is made from highly alkalized or ‘dutched’ cocoa beans. This process makes it less bitter than regular cacao, and gives it a cool black color, unlike the regular brown one.

According to our extensive (!) research, we have found that most people don’t know what black cacao is, even though they have probably eaten it a trillion times. Yes, you’ve had it too.

Ever wondered what makes Oreos black?  *hint* It’s not the grinds of your ‘cool’ uncle Jeff’s leather pants (because leather is not vegan).

Of course, it’s made of black cocoa. And now you can make your own!

Why this product?

People have asked us for an alternative to our activated charcoal and your wish is our command. Get that intense black color without the detoxing properties of activated charcoal.

Do we even need to say more? I mean BLACK CHOCOLATE? Your life will be complete with this amazing powder.

Recommended use

Make intensely black cakes, icing, macarons, drinks, or whatever makes your inner badass happy.

This product contains no fat, and that leaves it a bit more dry and with a slightly different flavor than regular cacao. So for the best results, you should add a bit more fat to your recipe to get perfect results. If you want that exact same chocolatey flavor that you’re used to, we also suggest you mix in some brown cocoa in your recipes (which will enhance the flavors).

Usage Note:

If you make recipes using baking soda be aware that baking soda does not work with large amounts of Black cocoa powder (¾ cup or more) as it is alkalized and will interfere with the reaction properties of baking soda that should cause the rising.

There are two solutions to this we recommend. They can be combined to work together as well.

1. Add baking powder on top of the baking soda to get the proper rise of your creation. (Start with one teaspoon and add up to two if you need to)

2. Reduce the amount of black cocoa and add in a bit of regular cacao to make it a mixture of both. This will still get a very dark color but will avoid issues with rising.

Black cocoa contains close to zero fat. This can lead to baked goods getting drier. If you’re worried this might happen, add a tablespoon of vegan yogurt or sour cream to the recipe
