Frequently asked questions

How many grams is 1 cup of cocoa powder?

1 US cup of cocoa powder weighs 86 g, as measured by the USDA (1 cup (unsweetened)). A tablespoon weighs 5.4 g.

How do I convert grams of cocoa powder to cups?

Divide the grams by 86. For example, 100 g of cocoa powder is 1.16 cups, about 1 cup + 3 tbsp.

Is a US cup the same as a metric cup?

No. A US cup is 236.6 ml and a metric cup (Australia, Canada, New Zealand) is 250 ml, so a metric cup of an ingredient weighs about 5–6% more than the US weights here.

Why weigh instead of using cups?

How you fill a cup changes how much goes in: scooped flour packs down, spooned flour stays loose. Weighing gives the same amount every time, which matters most for baking.
