Is there a big...or any... difference between dutch process cocoa powder and regular unsweetened cocoa powder for baking purposes? Are they interchangable?

Here's a explanation: http://www.cupcakeproject.com/2007/05/dutch-processed-cocoa-powder-new-pantry.html
"Substituting Unsweetened Cocoa for Dutch-Process Cocoa - 3 tablespoons (18 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder plus a pinch (1/8 teaspoon) baking soda.
Substituting Dutch-Process Cocoa for Unsweetened Cocoa - Leave out any baking soda called for in the recipe."
You need to make a hot chocolate with Dutch (Droste is the standard) and another chocolate to see the difference before you cook with them.
