Can you put the amounts back please because I prefer this recipe and would rather use it🙏

Just came here to say I made this in September and now I wish I had the amounts still because I need it again today. 🥹

Do you still have the recipe for this one though?

[@codyamory]

I’m so relieved it ended up being black cocoa powder and not activated charcoal! 😂 As far as black dye alternatives go, the cocoa powder will always be my first choice. So so excited to try this for a Halloween cake!

[@cbgbstew4072]

Came here to make this comment, as well! Was so happy to see it was NOT the charcoal!

[@cbgbstew4072]

@@tsnmproductions Look it up. Using activated charcoal in food is a very popular trend right now.

[@dazaiosamu4780]

@@cbgbstew4072 is there a different taste between them? But whats the issue if you use activated charcoal over black cocoa?

[@SlackingSilence]

Activated charcoal decreases the effectiveness of many medications including birth control, painkillers, and antidepressants.

[@TyrTallAsATree]

@@dazaiosamu4780 It would affect the taste at least some, but another issue to using activated charcoal is that it can be dangerous for people on medication, as it can negate the effects if anything containing activated charcoal is eaten within an hour either before or after taking the medicine. The charcoal decreases the amount of medicine the body absorbs, which can be reeeeally detrimental!

[@julieblair7472]

You nailed this! Adding a tablespoon or so of regular cocoa can offset the alkalinity too and create a more straight-forward light chocolate flavor. Hershey's original is especially tangy. Too much cream of tartar can taste metallic. Just a warning, black cocoa can cause some alarm the next day in the bathroom

[@Sugarologie]

Yeah that’s def something to watch out for so I have a range to use with the cream of tartar or maybe some won’t even need to use it. I’m incredibly sensitive to alkaline flavors as I tend to look for it to asses the pH in a recipe but yeah great point

I had never even heard of "black cocoa powder" until now. It's so odd that I, as a chocolate lover, never knew of its existence. I'll have to try it. I love the look that it makes. So elegant. I love the idea of the black frosting on the outside, but once opened, I'd like a rainbow of colored cakes on the inside.

I don't bake personally but this is revolutionary because you are right most of the cake videos that I see with black frosting would involve black dye. I suddenly remembered my last birthday where I had a galaxy themed cake. The baker who did my cake made it so delicious but my mom initially thought it was not good anymore to consume since the black dye would leave green stains on a white plate. This is actually a good info.
