Perfect. Saves $ too. Great for countries where you can't get unsweetened baking chocolate. -
Thanks Marg for posting this as I couldn't remember the ratio. I just mix the extra butter or oil in with the the rest of butter or oil and stir the cocoa into the flour. Easy peasy! -
Thank you….perfect. I used canola oil for 1 and butter for the other 3 batches……so perfect. You’re a genus,

With the changes to the email notifications and removal of private messaging, I am no longer able to respond to questions about my recipes. Yet another feature change that has made the website less user friendly. It's sad to watch a fantastic site deteriorate over the years. Some of my recipes are on my blog.
