"Normal" cocoa is a bit acidic. Recipes which rely on that acidity
(including many cake recipes) won't work as well with Dutch-processed cocoa.

I'm not aware of any recipes which REQUIRE Dutch-processed cocoa, but I'm
sure they're out the If a recipe has been specifically developed for
Dutch-processed cocoa, then using regular cocoa will naturally not turn out
as well.
