Raw cacao powder is cocoa powder that has not been roasted. However, Dutch processed cocoa is also treated with alkali. Cocoas with alkali need an acid (baking soda or powder) to correctly react. IF your recipe calls for DUTCH processed cocoa and you are substituting for natural, make sure to adjust your leavening. Give the hotline a call at 1-855-371-2253 and we can help you out. Happy baking! Laurie@KAF
