Basak Kakao is a strongly de-oiled cocoa powder from Başak of Akşehir in Turkey, made from imported cocoa beans and treated with alkali, the Dutch style process that gives a darker colour and a smoother, less sharp chocolate flavour. With cocoa butter at 11%, it is a lean powder that mixes easily into batters, creams and milk. The pack names cream cakes, sponges, puddings and ice cream as its uses, and the 100g carton suits home baking where a few spoonfuls go into each bake.

How to use it
For a chocolate sponge, swap a few tablespoons of the flour for cocoa and sift the two together so the powder does not clump. Whisk it into warm milk with sugar for a chocolate pudding or a quick hot cocoa, or fold it through whipped cream for a cake filling. A light dusting through a fine sieve finishes tiramisu, brownies and truffles. Because it is unsweetened, add sugar to taste. Turkish home bakers use it in islak kek, the soft wet chocolate cake soaked in cocoa syrup, and in profiterole sauce.
