Is there a way to make Dutch cocoa turn red?
I've heard online that non-Dutch processed cocoa can turn red if you add it to an acid, and I know Dutch processed cocoa doesn't.
But is there a way to make it turn red?

Unless you're a chemist and can get the polyphenol back into the cocoa I believe you're out of luck. The red color you achieved with the non-Dutch is from the oxidation process caused by the acid, Dutch processing add alkali to the mix and removes polyphenal, as you know, neutralizes the acid and oxidation can't be completed which in turn would normally turn your cocoa red.

Some cocoa pods are actually already red, they aren't often used because they are poorer in flavor. Red food coloring wil turn the cocoa red, that is used when making Red Velvet Cake, which is just a chocolate cake with red food coloring.
