I usually use it for brownies, but I originally bought it to make whoopie pies. King Arthur sells a black cocoa/dutch cocoa mix that has a pH similar to reg. cocoa, thus avoiding possible baking disasters. I really like all the photos, but "Light, with Dark" is my favorite.cholderbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11289014401311652716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569004503761494300.post-23561935073408817172011-07-06T22:48:26.355-07:002011-07-06T22:48:26.355-07:00I would actually remake your Black Forest Gateau,...I would actually remake your Black Forest Gateau, it looks FABULOUS!
