Cocoa black powder is a heavily black alkalized cocoa powder with pH 8.0 to 9.0 or higher that its color turns brownish black or nearly jet black cocoa powder. The deep black cocoa powder has less noticeable cocoa taste and flavor in comparison with natural or other Dutch-processed cocoa powders.
This super black colour is achieved by heavier alkalizing and no food colors have been used to create it. This means that dark black cocoa powder is amazing natural colouring agent, and is perfect for people with food allergies.

How Do you Bake with Black Cocoa Powder
The main thing you need to remember is that always stick with the type of cocoa called for in that recipe. Otherwise, it may result in a flat cake and sunken cupcakes. Black cocoa powder (as well as normal dutch cocoa powder) won't react with baking soda to help your cake rise.
Another important thing to remember, when baking with black cocoa powder, is the fact that the processing makes black cocoa powder almost fat-free. So when baking, it's always best to combine it with natural or regular dutch cocoa powder, so your baking stays nice and moist.
