1 Cup Cocoa powder in Grams
1 cup of cocoa powder weighs:
85g
US cup (240 ml)
89g
Metric / AU cup (250 ml)
American recipes mean the 240 ml cup; Australian, British and New Zealand recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. If the recipe does not say, the cuisine usually tells you — see the full cups to grams guide.
Cocoa powder is very light and compacts easily, at about 85 g per cup. Like flour it should be spooned in and levelled rather than scooped, and it benefits from sifting because it clumps badly.
