looking for 'black cocoa powder' - doesn't seem to be available in the UK. It needs to be very dark in colour to make a black cake. Is this black?

This is pure cocoa or chocolate. So it is thr true colour of chocolate. I have not baked with it but I an only assume if you put enough in the cake mix it will be dark. The only other solution would be to add dark colouring ro the mix to make it darker. This is the finest chocolate I have bought in 30yrs

Is this "Dutch Processed" cocoa?

Dear Henrietta, thank you for your enquiry. This Valrhona Cocoa Powder is (in fact all the cocoa powders we stock are) 'Dutched'. Kind regards, Customer Services, Chocolate Trading Co.

Doe it contain caffeine ?

Hi, the ingredients are cocoa powder and potassium carbonates. Cocoa powder naturally contains a substantial amount of caffeine. A 100-gram serving of unsweetened cocoa powder has 230 milligrams of caffeine. We hope this helps.

Hi what is the best Valrhona chocolate powder for making Mocha's

Thank you for your enquiry. I'm very sorry but we don't have any data from Valrhona on individual recipes. This 250g tub and the 3kg bulk box are the only cocoa powders we stock from Valrhona. Kind regards, Customer Services, Chocolate Trading Co.
