@wassembakes: Home baker or pro, this is one tip you need to know! And trust me, you really can taste the difference in you bakes. Do you bloom your cocoa powder? #bakingtips #kitchentips #bakery
my best chocolate cake recipe introduced me to this method. I had never heard of it before and it makes the most amazing moist, flavorful cake. I only recently saw the video about blooming cinnamon. that is new to me.

Why does my cocoa taste burnt in my brownies when I use this technique?

I put cocoa in my waffle recipe. Now I have to alter my technique. When you know better you do better. Thanks for the information.

I have been on this earth for 25+years and have been cooking and baking for the better part of it and this is the first time hearing “bloom” as a technique. I love it!

The recipe for chocolate cake on the Hersheys Special Dark Cocoa, is absolute killer! Dark and very flavorful, and uses hot water to bloom. Try it, thank me later.

Do you have to change ratios of ingredients when blooming the cocoa? If it’s 1 cup in the dry ingredients is it still 1 cup mixed with the liquid?

Brady’s Mom :
But won’t the additional liquid added to the dry cocoa powder affect the recipe?

Can I ask what the difference between blooming it and just putting coffee in your batter? I believe you I’m just curious.
