THE COCOA TRADER – Black Cocoa Powder for Baking 1Lb – Darkest Dutch Processed, Alkalized, Unsweetened Chocolate Flavor | Natural Food Coloring Substitute | Vegan, Gluten- & Sugar-Free, Keto Friendly

My little requested a solar system themed birthday cake and I found a recipe for a dye-free black buttercream frosting that required black cocoa powder. This black frosting tasted like Oreo cookies with a balanced dark chocolate bitterness and richness. The frosting was also naturally pitch black and did not stain our fingers or teeth! I can't wait to experiment with this cocoa powder in other recipes.

Good quality and taste, I have purchased multiple times and plan on purchasing in the future.

This cocoa is so good! I made a buttercream with it, and it turned out black without needing dye (and it didn't turn anyone's mouth black!). One friend even commented that they usually dislike icing, but they found themselves loving the black cocoa buttercream I made. When this cocoa powder was suggested to me, several said they thought it tasted like Oreos. I don't disagree!

If you need easy perfectly rich black buttercream without that bitter teeth staining food coloring this is the brand to use!

I bought this cocoa for a baby shower chocolate cupcake order with rich chocolate buttercream frosting, and let me tell you—I hate chocolate cakes and cupcakes. But this? It tasted just like a fudgy brownie, and it was an absolute hit! Safe to say, it changed my mind about chocolate desserts!

I bought this to make black frosting (I wanted to avoid dyes). The packaging says it's used for color, not flavor. However, there IS a flavor. It's good. It reminds me of an OREO cookie (minus the filling). The color is fantastic - a very rich black, and it doesn't stain surfaces, teeth, etc. My only complaint is that it says there's not a flavor. It worked with the yellow cake I made, but the flavor may not work for all desserts.

Excellent... taste is good and definitely made black icing easy.

Love this! Mt cookie icing was black! I am never going to use black food coloring on my cookies again! It does have a slight taste of dark coco but it’s very mild. I dissolved in boiling water before adding to my royal icing. I used 1 tbsp of coco to 1/2 tbsp boil water then added a little more water until I got a loose paste. Then added to my prepared a small amount stiff royal icing until I got the black color I wanted. I added warm water to the icing to get my flood consistency I wanted. I also used it to make black brownies.. whoa! Rich! They were amazing! The flavor was super decadent and rich! You need vanilla ice cream to balance but absolutely wonderful!
