I have a question. I am new to baking and I am focusing on pastries and such. My new venture is a red velvet cake and I know I have to use cocoa powder and I just bought a random Aldi store brand bakers corner cocoa powder. I am not sure if its any good. its sort of of chalky looking and it has a lot of lumps in it. its bitter like its suppose to be but is this how cocoa powder is supposed to look? and how is it suppose to feel? also if anyone can recommend an all around good baking powder for cakes I would appreciate it.
