Rich chocolate cake mix infused with premium Dutch-processed cocoa, yielding a moist, deeply colored sponge and decadent chocolate flavor.
FAQ
Athar utilizes premium Dutch-processed alkalized cocoa powder containing 10% to 12% natural cocoa butter, neutralizing the harsh native acidity of raw cocoa beans. This treatment softens astringency, enriches rounded chocolate notes, and yields an intense mahogany color, eliminating any scratchy throat bitterness while enhancing palate richness.
Cocoa particles naturally dehydrate cake batters; to counteract this, Athar incorporates specialty wheat starches with superior water-binding capacity and plant-derived monoglycerides. This network micro-encapsulates moisture and vegetable lipids, retarding oven evaporation and ensuring the crumb remains exceptionally moist, fudgy, and resilient for days.
Yes. By reducing liquids from 150ml to 100ml and shortening oven dwell time to 20-25 minutes, bakers can easily produce decadent fudgy brownies or molten-center lava cakes. Pouring a warm chocolate ganache over the freshly baked warm crumb further intensifies the molten texture, making it a highly versatile base for dessert menus.
In addition to 24-pack cartons of 500g boxes (720kg per pallet), Athar supplies industrial 25kg multi-layer composite sacks (40 sacks / 1,000kg net per pallet) for commercial lines. Industrial wholesale MOQ is 1 metric ton (one full pallet). Long-term corporate contracts feature locked pricing structures, planned dispatches, and guaranteed rheological batch-to-batch stability.
Cocoa powder contains natural cocoa butter vulnerable to oxidative rancidity if exposed to atmospheric oxygen, ambient heat, or ultraviolet rays. Athar utilizes three-ply metallized barrier films providing total gas and light impermeability. Maintaining climate-controlled storage below 20°C ensures lipid integrity remains pristine without stale off-notes throughout the verified 12-month shelf life.
All raw cocoa lots undergo strict chromatographic testing prior to formulation to verify the complete absence of B1, B2, G1, and G2 aflatoxins as well as Ochratoxin A. Comprehensive microbiological panels confirm negative results for Salmonella, coliforms, and osmophilic molds, meeting the stringent purity criteria of Codex Alimentarius.
