Measuring tips
Cocoa powder is very light and easily compacted. Spoon it in and level it, and sift it if it is lumpy.
The tables use a US cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup (250 ml, used in Australia, Canada and New Zealand) of cocoa powder weighs about 90 g. Switch the cup size in the converter above.
Weights are averages from published kitchen weight charts. Brand, humidity and how you fill the cup can change them by 5–10%, so for baking a scale is always more accurate.
