This is why if you are making wacky cake (a great depression era vegan chocolate cake) you shouldn't use Dutch cocoa, it won't work
Oh. Wow. Thanks YouTube recommendations…
How would you know the difference on a packet?
💩💩💩
Why not just make them with chocolate rather than cocoa powder?
It’s like a slump test for concrete 😂
Excuse me when did the dutch grows cocoa?? How did they got cocoa named after them?
America is so weird. I just searched for the cheapest supermarket brand cocoa powder here.
2 ingredients:
Cocoa
Acidity regulator
how much do i love dan souza? I’m watching him play with dookie and i am rapt
What's eating Dan, something I enjoy, because I always learn something new!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
And why is the starchy one called "natural"?
So how do we tell the difference when we're buying at the grocery store?
The first one looks healthier.
This looks like a live demonstration of the Bristol Scale…
The first one looks really disgusting
What a strange bristol test
how about a 50-50 mix?
So what brands? Hersheys and dutched Ghirardelli?
He looks like that Adam guy
This is only part of the story. Come on!
I want a brownie not fudge #1!!!
Using the second one at elevation means your brownies don't set (ask me how I know….)
To be fair, I'm using dutched/alkalised coco for brownies everytime for the taste. The ability to absorb water is irrelevant for high fat desserts
One is not better than the other. They are different, for different applications.
What are considered high and low values?
When is Dan getting married?
"Now imagine eating each one" I'm waaay ahead of you there Dan
Your labels are wrong, dutch does not always imply low starch content. Instead it implies a more basic chocolate made using an alkaline solution. Also dutch processing affects the solubility hence the more liquid texture on the final product.
