The lower the fat content, the more starch cocoa powder contains. That moisture-absorbing starch results in baked goods that are drier and crumblier as compared with the chewy, fudgy consistency of those made with high-fat cocoa powder. To zero in on those differences, we performed a test with cocoa powder–water mixtures that were cooked to exactly the same temperature. #cooksillustrated #chocolate #cichocolateweek #cocoapowder #baking #foodscience #bakingproject #weekendbaking #food #recipes
