What type of cocoa powder is best for chocolate cake?

[Luna]

Hey all, just wondering what kind of cocoa powder y'all swear by for baking that killer chocolate cake. Seriously, every recipe seems to have its own take, but I wanna get the real scoop. Dutch-processed? Natural? There's gotta be a secret ingredient or brand that takes the cake, right? Curious minds need to know!

When it comes to baking the perfect chocolate cake, the type of cocoa powder you choose can make all the difference! For that rich, decadent flavor, opt for unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-processed for a smoother taste. It lends a deep chocolatey hue and intensifies the cocoa flavor, resulting in a heavenly cake that's sure to impress! Happy baking!
