Baking Cocoa
When a recipe calls for baking cocoa, use the unsweetened kind do not use an instant cocoa mix that you use for hot chocolate.
Two types of baking cocoa are available: nonalkalized (regular) and alkalized ("Dutch" or "European"). Alkalized cocoa goes through a "Dutching" process to neutralize the natural acids found in cocoa. The result is a darker cocoa with a more mellow chocolate flavor than regular cocoa. The two types of cocoa can be
used interchangeably, but you will notice differences in color and flavor. Baked goods made with Dutch cocoa will be darker in color and a bit milder in flavor.
