no - it is to "cook" it - when you make a sponge you get a tablespoonful of cocoa and pour enough hot water on it to make it into a sludgy paste and mix in with the other ingredients - makes a lovely chocolate sponge I always do an "all in one" sponge - you can add any flavouring - lemon zest wth lemon juice, orange the same, or coconut, or coffee |

I only use cocoa to make chocolate cakes - you have to pour boiling water on it though before you mix it in |

Best thing about seaside trips with mum staying in B&Bs in Hastings ( where the owners locked the doors from dusk to dawn) was going to the cafes and getting a frothy Horlicks as a nightcap :-D |

Horlicks tablets in the 40's when sweets were on ration you could get them in the chemist shops - they were very nice if I recall correctly, and better than no sweets at all |

I can take cocoa in small amounts, but too much in one hit makes me feel a bit nauseous. |
