OK everybody. Provided nothing goes wrong, I should receive this in a few days.

 

Wincrest Black Cocoa Powder

 

I've been interested in this stuff ever since I read about it in an issue of a baking magazine, and now i'm trying to come up with some good ideas for its use.

Add to a New York cheesecake?

Add some extra chocolate kick to the legendary CC cookie?

Maybe A dark Macaron?

See if it can improve the taste of my chocolate cake?

 

What do you guys think?

It will improve the colour but not at all sure it does much for the flavour. YMMV.

I use the King Arthur black cocoa powder for baking.  Good thing cocoa powder keeps indefinitely.

I've head that it doesn't do much for the flavor, but it should hopefully provide a little bit of kick, as well as perhaps getting some dark coloration in. I can see this working well for a devil's food cake, or just an really chocolatey baked good.
