How to Substitute Carob Powder for Cocoa Powder

You can substitute carob powder one for one in recipes calling for cocoa powder. Because carob is naturally sweet, you may need to reduce the amount of sugar in a recipe, depending on taste. Try making carob cake, carob brownies, hot carob (a sub for hot chocolate), and other delicious desserts and beverages. You can also reduce fat content in recipes by substituting carob powder for half the cocoa powder.
