Can Dark Dutch Cocoa Powder be Used as a Substitute for Natural Cocoa Powder?
It depends on the application. For liquid recipes including buttercream, frosting, mousse, pudding, ice cream, and hot chocolate, you can use Dutch-process cocoa powder. Some recipes for baked goods were designed for a specific type of cocoa powder and might not yield best results with a substitution. As a rule of thumb, for recipes that have a leavening agent, such as, baking powder or baking soda, use the type of cocoa powder requested. Typically, American recipes call for natural cocoa powder, while European recipes use Dutch-process.

How to Substitute Dark Dutch Cocoa Powder for Unsweetened Baking Chocolate
In a pinch, you can substitute Dark Dutch Cocoa Powder for unsweetened baking chocolate. For 1-ounce unsweetened baking chocolate use 3 tablespoons Dark Dutch Cocoa Powder and 1 tablespoon butter, shortening, or vegetable oil.
