✨Update: It's been a year since I first released this recipe and have a new easier method to make this frosting here: ua-cam.com/video/8kAcmqoQE_U/v-deo.html
I’m so relieved it ended up being black cocoa powder and not activated charcoal! 😂 As far as black dye alternatives go, the cocoa powder will always be my first choice. So so excited to try this for a Halloween cake!
@@dazaiosamu4780 It would affect the taste at least some, but another issue to using activated charcoal is that it can be dangerous for people on medication, as it can negate the effects if anything containing activated charcoal is eaten within an hour either before or after taking the medicine. The charcoal decreases the amount of medicine the body absorbs, which can be reeeeally detrimental!
You nailed this! Adding a tablespoon or so of regular cocoa can offset the alkalinity too and create a more straight-forward light chocolate flavor. Hershey's original is especially tangy. Too much cream of tartar can taste metallic. Just a warning, black cocoa can cause some alarm the next day in the bathroom
Yeah that’s def something to watch out for so I have a range to use with the cream of tartar or maybe some won’t even need to use it. I’m incredibly sensitive to alkaline flavors as I tend to look for it to asses the pH in a recipe but yeah great point
I had never even heard of "black cocoa powder" until now. It's so odd that I, as a chocolate lover, never knew of its existence. I'll have to try it. I love the look that it makes. So elegant. I love the idea of the black frosting on the outside, but once opened, I'd like a rainbow of colored cakes on the inside.
The fact that I’m getting this sorta recipe, tips and tricks and info for FREE is absolutely beyond my mind... some really be charging $20 for a basic american buttercream tho like what😭 I couldn’t thank you enough for your great videos!
@Code Dage Sure the creator is making money off of this, its UA-cam man. But I think the commenter is just appreciating that the recipe is accessible and free to the public, not hidden behind a paywall
OMG…I just found you and you’re beyond amazing! I’m a nurse and love to bake so getting a taste of the biological/chemical side makes my heart smile. Keep up the great work and keep bringing on these educational videos. Your explanation is enhancing my baking skills to understand my ingredients integrity, consistency and flavours to make a more wholesome cake!! 😊
If you were to write a cookbook, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I love your approach to recipe development, and you have a real talent for it. Looking forward to trying this!
Thats amazing. I had no idea there were even alternatives to icky black food coloring. You've changed the Groom's cakes and New Years eve pastry possibilities forever!
You genius! Made the whole cake today from the cake, to the filling to the frosting. It was a stunner and absolutely delicious! Trust the process was the phrase because at first it looked dark brown, but quickly became the most wonderful black and tasted delicious! Thank you so much for the 4 1/2 cup recipe. Perfect for my 3 layer 8 inch.
Please write a book that has this recipe lol I would definitely buy it! I love this! I really dislike food dyes specifically black one and the red one gives me minor allergy symptoms :( so this alternative is amazing for the black one 🥰 thanks!
I studied your videos and took a leap of faith, making my first chocolate ganache frosting on a coffee-infused oil cake (another technique I learned from you). I'm truly grateful for your work.
Subscribed! I'm a super basic Baker (Quick breads, dump cake, scratch cookies but everything else is from a Box mix) And I'm trying to understand the Methods needed to follow genuine recipes and I really appreciate how straightforward and easy to understand your videos are. Just found you and definitely going to watch more videos
Oh, this is lovely! I like making cream cheese-based frosting myself, for that slight sourness to offset the sweetness of the cake and high creaminess.
I don't bake personally but this is revolutionary because you are right most of the cake videos that I see with black frosting would involve black dye. I suddenly remembered my last birthday where I had a galaxy themed cake. The baker who did my cake made it so delicious but my mom initially thought it was not good anymore to consume since the black dye would leave green stains on a white plate. This is actually a good info.
wow this sounds like probably the most delicious frosting ever and the shiny black gooeyness of it all is giving me ferngully super mysterious i need this frosting in my life
Tried this for my Halloween party cupcakes and they turned out great! And they didn't stain our teeth! Definitely going to be using this in the future 👌
I had my mind on using the dutch cocoa in my frosting for a Black and white theme. However, I decided to have my cake black because they wanted a peanut butter frosting (huge in my family). It turned out extremely well and I wouldn't have thought of that if I did not see your video. I will have to try the black frosting for our Sunday dinner next week. I really enjoy your channel!
Interesting 🧐 in Mexico we have Black coated breads using Totomoxtle aka corn husk ash. I use the ash when making pan de muerto ☠️ and it does not have any sort of funky taste at all. Another natural alternative to dye baked goods 😊 I wonder if the ash will work as a replacement in this black cocoa recipe tho 🤔 only way to find out it to make it!
You are such an amazing video creator, it is so informative! With my sincere appreciation for making this wonderful videos, you made huge contributions to the baking world! Salute!
so i've been getting into baking more and this was perfect for a birthday cake, in the exact amounts described. Anyways, my elbow hit the bowl when I was adding the cream of tartar to my hot chocolaty syrup and upended the entire bowl. D: We laughed, we cried... we made another batch. It came out great! I'm so glad I found this recipe last week.
Having _NEVER_ heard of "black chocolate" before now, I'm simultaneously surprised, shocked, AND delighted! Thanks so much for the concept, which I simply _MUST SHARE_ with my two adult daughters, both of whom are avid & creative bakers & cooks. *_THEY_** will love this concept, too!* 👍💖😉
What a fantastically informative video! It has the exact right amount of information, along with really great visuals, and it goes at the perfect pace. New subscriber!
This is so cool! I can't believe there is another scientist baking woman out there! I'm really happy I found your channel :-). I'll try this recipe soon, thank you for sharing!
I absolutely love All of your videos. They are so informative and you explain everything with such great detail. This is absolutely brilliant!Thank you for all you do.
First video I ever watched of yours and for no reason except it popped up on my feed and I bake. WOW I will definitely be watching more of your videos! I love you and how you narrate and explain! Would love videos on your cake and filling if you don’t already have them!
So when i tried it, it was too brown when it was the perfect consistency. I kept mixing like it said in the instructions and it turned almost black, still a little brown, but it was super runny. Did I do something wrong? Should i have chilled it again?
You might not have used the correct cocoa. Same happened to me. I used “black” organic cocoa I believe the King Arthur version. I’m going to retry this recipe with Noir Intense Black cocoa powder to see if I can make it right this time.
This combined with your glow in the dark frosting is giving me all the Halloween ideas! Question, did the black frosting stain while eating? Black looks great but I know people don't like the staining after.
Yeah ...but the question was....does it stain? Oh noooo. Your teeth end up looking like white, polished marble...fresh from the dentist office!!! Haaaaa.... derdeeder.... 😂😂😂😜😜😜🖤🖤🖤
omg this is a perfect black coloring!! AND it won’t negate your medications!!! why isn’t black cocoa the go-to pitch black food ?? (outside of just. black food coloring yknow kdjdskdsk)
I'm trying this recipe now. I took it out the freezer and it was pretty thick so I started mixing. It's still gray and starting to get a bit loose. It's been about 15 mins mixing. Should I just keep mixing or what do I do?? Thx in advance!
I can't get this to work, either. I followed all the directions (except for the immersion blender at the end, because I don't have one). No matter what I do, it still has white specs of butter everywhere. I tried warming it up a few degrees with a hair dryer as suggested, and that makes the bits on the very outside of the bowl pretty much black and smooth, but then the rest of the frosting just liquifies...still with white specs of butter. There is no way this will stay on a cake. I'm not a newbie to baking, either. I can manage an IMBC just fine, so I don't know why I can't make this work. Did you ever manage to get it to come together? I'm going to refrigerate it again like another commenter suggested. And if that doesn't work, I guess I'll try to salvage it to a spreadable state by adding some cocoa powder and powdered sugar, but it definitely won't end up black that way.
What brand of Black Cocoa powder did you use? The kind I bought on Amazon wasn't actually black. Also do you have the recipe of the cream filling you used?
You are becoming my go to channel for baking fixes. Such a wealth of knowledge! I'm wondering if you made the frosting but weren't planning to use it right away, could you just put it in the fridge in say a sealed container then take it out when you're ready and then whip it?
I made it and it turned out delicious! However I do wish it was there was a direct link to your recipe in the description box… also when I found the recipe on your website the instructions weren’t matching what was said in the video. Example the recipe says to add the water and cocoa powder first, the video adds the sugar in that step
Thank you, thank you for letting me know about the link. I'm always working on the recipes and sometimes I forget to update stuff like in this video. But yeah, I also added a note about how I work on my recipes, and you'll always find my latest notes and updates on the blog version (since that's editable). Thanks again!

Came here to make this comment, as well! Was so happy to see it was NOT the charcoal!
@@tsnmproductions Look it up. Using activated charcoal in food is a very popular trend right now.
@@cbgbstew4072 is there a different taste between them? But whats the issue if you use activated charcoal over black cocoa?
Activated charcoal decreases the effectiveness of many medications including birth control, painkillers, and antidepressants.

@@TheSimplyCooking hey if it's not too much trouble could you comment your recipe?
