It is often used for its fruits and seeds, which have a variety of uses. Carob powder is often used as a substitute for cocoa because it has a sweet, chocolate-like flavor but is naturally low in caffeine and fat. It is used in baked goods, candies and beverages. In my cake with carob, the topping is flavored with carob for an incomparably delicious treat.
