Title: Alkalised and non-alkalised cocoa powder
Post by: Cuilidh on August 01, 2014, 04:47:18 am

Does anyone know what the difference is between alkalised and non-alkalised cocoa powder is?  Are they inter-changeable?

Marina, sorry can't help.  I just buy Dutch Cocoa powder as it has a better flavour.

Me neither.  I rarely use any cocoa powder.

Thank you, Jo, that was very helpful and means I now know what I have to buy and that I have an excellent excuse to make a trip to the chocolate shop this morning!
