I had heard about Taza before your post from researching the cacao trade and so many of the negative aspects to it. But your descriptions of the chocolate were what made me have to try it. I just picked some up today and I have to say this is the only chocolate that I will hold on to long enough to it to linger and melt on my tongue. It was beyond fabulous. Its so wonderful to see great chocolate produced by great people - at all points of production.

Hi Mary,
I've been trying to track my cup measurements and use the scale in baking more than the cups. Just measure out a cup of flour 10 times and take its average measure--that's just my take on it--10 seems a nice round number, but I'm sure it's more or less the average of even 3 scoops. I'm starting to use Dragon Speaking Naturally (dictation software) in the kitchen, but a kitchen notebook with measures helps keep all this stuff straight for me too.

I would LOVE to go to a chocolate factory!! PLanning to try your recipe out tomorrow. Have one question- how did you calculate cup to gram measurements? I've been working on this a lot lately as I prefer to weigh ingredients and want to make sure I am doing it right!! I'll let you know how cupcakes turn out.

Olivia you have very fertile friends--perhaps they're all making babies just to get you to bake for them!

dreaminitvegan at Taza they said that some tea companies add in cacao for a little chocolate flavor--maybe that's where you've heard of it. It's such a good idea. Heard it works in beers too.

sarah, are you thinking about the sugar in the mexicano line? at first it took me by surprise too, since i thought it was sweeter than i'm used to liking, but i feel like it was actually the fact that the sugar crystals were still so intact that i was reacting too because it keeps the sweet and a cacao bitterness a little more separate than usual. i don't know--that's just me!

thanks, monica

I love that there is a chocolate kingdom in my backyard, in the form of Taza. I loved reading your fabulous description of your experience with them. I only wish they would add a bit less sugar to the mix, shocking I know. But it does overwhelm the chocolate-ness a bit.

How cool to see the workings of a chocolate factory and a good one at that. I've heard of cacao tea before, but I don't know where.
We love the flavor of mexican chocolate, due to my father-in-laws side of the family.
Your cupcakes are amazing,

Emilie,
I recently picked up some Taza from my favorite local grocery in Ann Arbor, intending to use it in the chocolate cake recipe you sent me. Yes, another vegan baby shower is on my horizon. How serendipitous to see this post a few days later. Way cool that you live down the street from the factory!! Thank you for posting.

2009-05-07T16:18:23.658-05:00

Thanks guys, glad you liked checking out the behind the scenes action! Definitely try some Taza next time you're able.

Mom, I kind of remember that now...maybe? Actually, I now remember going on a tour of the Palmolive factory in Malaysia. Did that really happen? I think so. I'm so glad you took me out of school to tour a bread factory, that's awesome.

Meghan, totally, 100%, it's always kind of mind blowing to me when I take the time and think about how we can create/transform things in the kitchen.

Interesting "store," Dad. I'm now craving spoon bread and sopaipilla and I don't even completely know what they are! Sounds good though. They had ghost chilies at Christina's and I almost got you some, but figured that a chili pepper what can be weaponized is actually not in my interest to eat or give to someone I love to eat. ...but still, I kind of wonder. I used Taza chocolate in my tasting class a couple weeks ago and we tasted their raw cacao and nibs too! Yum.

Hey, PB and Jess, you'll definitely find Taza 'round these parts, but it's spreading out all over the country too. Made me smile to see it in San Francisco...we were both a long way from home.

I never knew so much went into chocolate making - how cool! I bet it tastes amazing. My husband went to Amherst College in MA, so next time we visit maybe I can hunt some of this stuff down!!

2009-05-07T11:12:31.081-05:00

Great post - I want those cupcakes!!! So, I was looking around (online as not likely to find here in the boondocks) for a source of some of the less common ingredients called for and came across dagiftbasket.com in NM that has a wide range of chilies in both dried pods, flakes and powder as well as the piloncillo sugar at reasonable prices compared to any other source I found. I ordered a pretty complete assortment of chilies to round out the spice drawer here, so I may have to register with Homeland security now... I found the masa harina at Laurie's in Rochester, so now all I need to do is order some Taza chocolate. I noticed that they have a tasting assortment "kit" - something for you to make a class around perhaps?
Glad your hand is improved - Dad

Great post! I totally agree with you on the whole- amazing how this stuff gets made thing. I too- born in '79 never realized garlic grew underground until my time at the farm last summer. Not sure what I thought happened to it- but so it goes growing up in a city. I have friends in Boston that I need to visit- this could be a great trip to take from there.

As I have learned to cook over the past couple of years- what is even more amazing to me than discovering how things are made, is realizing I have the ability to make them- from scratch, in my own sweet kitchen.

2009-05-07T09:30:11.629-05:00

Emilie,
Do you remember an early trip to the Strohman Bread factory in Olean in about 1985? You took a note to your kindergarten teacher in the afternoon saying you had an appointment in Olean. Your appointment involved a tour of the factory where bread, inferior to anything you bake now, was cranked out by the truckload.
Maybe Strohman Bread no longer exists. Nothing shows up on the internet except references to old commercials claiming "no big holes" in the slices.
I'm a big fan of factory tours but likely there are few food factories that leave a person more enthusiastic about their product after a peek behind that curtain. That makes Taza even more special.
I'll give your recipe a try and hope some day to see Taza myself. Thanks for another gorgeous post.
Love
Mom

Wow, what an incredible experience--thanks for sharing! I just spotted some Taza rounds at the co-op, and now I am especially inspired to pick some up on my next visit.

Good for Taza! Those cupcakes look great - I hope I can find Taza chocolate here in NM. At the Fiery Foods Show last year I tasted a dark chocolate bar with chipotle and cherry and I thought the combo was spectacular.
