So the difference between baking chocolate and cocoa is all that cocoa butter â generally as much as 55% of the baking chocolate. When you substitute cocoa for unsweetened chocolate, you generally use 3 tablespoons of cocoa and 1 tablespoon of butter, oil, or shortening to replace 1 ounce of chocolate. Since you want to go in the opposite direction, you need to find a way to remove from your recipe the extra fat you are adding.
Bittersweet chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate or a dark chocolate bar can be substituted for cocoa in recipes in a pinch. One oz. of dark chocolate equals 3 tbsps. of cocoa powder. As with baking chocolate, youâll need to eliminate 1 tbsp. of fat from your recipe. If your chocolate bar is very sweet you may want to cut the sugar in the recipe by 1/4 cup or so. You can substitute 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips for 3 tbsps. cocoa powder. Youâll also need to subtract 1 tbsp. of fat and 1/4 cup sugar from the recipe.
