cocoa and roasting....

[Guest guest]

I bought some cocoa lately and I used it to make a texas sheet cake.

It was great. But a problem was, if you ate it right away, it tasted

slightly spicy, like I added cayenne pepper (just a teeny bit). But

as the cake sat, it was better.

 

I was thinking maybe the cocoa I bought bulk was raw??? not roasted?

And now I want to make another cake.

 

How would I roast it or tell i it was roasted?

 

Thanks,
