(Fat is a carrier of flavor, remember!)
The color has nothing to do with the quality or flavor of the cocoa powder.
Dutch-process cocoa also dissolves easier in liquid than natural cocoa, making it ideal for hot cocoa mixes.

Can You Substitute or Swap Natural Cocoa for Dutch-Processed Cocoa?
Whether or not you might substitute cocoa powders depends on the recipe.
Thenyes, you’re able to swap one jot down of cocoa powder for the other without issue.

Same goes for recipes likehot cocoa,pudding, or mole sauce.
In those cases, Id swap the two cocoa powders without an issue.
the baking powder and baking soda measurements (more on that below).
Your baked goods may be fine, depending on how the recipe is built.
But the above is a good starting point for substituting one cocoa powder for the other!
