Baking Chocolate

If chocolate liquor is not dried and ground into cocoa powder, it is refined further by replacing some of the cocoa butter with lecithin (and other ingredients depending on the manufacturer) to create a smooth velvety chocolate. This unsweetened chocolate is what we know as baker's chocolate. It is also called bitter chocolate and is the base for most of the chocolate sweets created today.

Some baker's chocolate has sugar added to it to make bittersweet chocolate. Most recipes will specify whether you should use unsweetened baker's chocolate or bittersweet baker's chocolate.
