Dutch Process Cocoa Powder

[GB]

I have a recipe that calls for Dutch process cocoa powder, but I can't seen to find it in any of the stores around me. Would it go by any other names or am I just out of luck?

Do you have Fry's cocoa powder? Dutch process is just the way the cocoa is made, many brands are Dutch process.

I don't think I have ever seen Fry's. Would it say Dutch process on the can? I figured that if my local supermarket didn't have it then maybe trader Joes would, but they stopped carrying it :(

It should say on the can. Give me a second to run up to my kitchen and see what other types of cocoa I have.

You rock Alix! Thanks :)

OK, Hersheys MAKES a Dutch process one, don't know if you can find it though. Apparently King Arthur flour makes one, as does SACO. I am sorry GB, I only have Fry's, Hershey's and Bernard Callebaut in my cupboard. I hope you find one.

It will definitely say on the tin whether it is Dutched or not. All that means is that the cocoa was treated with an alkali during the processing. I read what that means to baking with it but can't remember. :oops: Sorry.

GB - does Penzy's carry one? Also I know that American Spice Company - www.americanspice.com carries it.

It could be under any number of names - but somewhere on the can it will say Dutch processed.

Thanks for looking for me Alix!

Yeah i remember that it meant it was treated with alkali. I think it also makes it look darker too if memory serves me.

I might just have to buy it online. Thank God for the internet :)

LOL, yep the internet is the most wonderful tool in a cooks arsenal sometimes. Good Luck GB.

I am placing my order right now!

You guys are the best!!!
