Notes
I prefer Dutch-processed cocoa in this recipe. I use a high quality cocoa, Bensdorp Dutch-process cocoa. You can purchase it at King Arthur flour. http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/bensdorp-dutch-process-cocoa-16-oz
Hershey makes a brand called Hershey Special Dark, which is a blend of dutched and natural cocoa. I've also used this cocoa and find it works well.
