Cocoa and Cocoa Powder - One and the Same?

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise:

Several recipes call for cocoa powder. Is this the same as cocoa? I have asked for cocoa powder in several stores, and they either don’t have the product or don’t seem to know what I’m asking for. Can you please tell me where I can get cocoa powder?

This is a good question! A manufacturer told us that cocoa powder and cocoa are the same. The powder (it has no sugar added) is usually sold in a can and found in the baking aisle of the store. So you are safe using cocoa when a recipe calls for cocoa powder.
