Dutch-process or alkalized cocoa is chemically processed to reduce the acidity and harshness of natural cocoa. In doing so, alkalizing alters the flavor of the cocoa and darkens the color, making it appear to be more chocolatey. When acidity is reduced to 22% - 24%, the result is rich flavor and darker chocolate-like color in baked treats.

You can use dutch processed cocoa in any recipe that does not include baking powder or baking soda: hot cocoa, sauces, frostings, and even brownies and sponge cakes, so long as no baking soda or powder are called for.
