Is cocoa and cacao the same thing for a chocolate cake recipe?
Cacao vs. Cocoa. While cacao refers to cacao beans that have not been roasted, what is called cocoa is made of beans that have been roasted. So, in turn, a product that is labeled cacao is the raw bean and is often packaged as vegan chocolate that has been minimally processed with no additives.
Why is cacao powder better than cocoa?
One of the most distinctive differences between cacao and cocoa is the taste. Organic Cacao Powder has a bitter, more intense and richer chocolate flavor than cocoa.
Why is my chocolate cake not moist?
A dry cake is usually the result of one of the following pitfalls. Using the wrong ingredients, making mistakes while mixing the batter, or baking the cake too long or at too high a temperature. Once you understand how to avoid the common cake-baking blunders, you’ll bake a moist cake every time.
Why do you put hot water in a chocolate cake?
You may have seen a few chocolate cake recipes that utilize hot water or even hot coffee. When the hot liquid is combined with the cocoa powder, it helps to dissolve and ‘bloom’ the cocoa to bring out as much flavor with as few cocoa lumps as possible.
