  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

  • One metric tablespoon of cocoa powder weighs about 7.2 grams. A US tablespoon (14.79 ml) holds about 7.1 grams and an Australian tablespoon (20 ml) about 9.6 grams.
  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.
  • Cocoa powder settles, so a cup's weight depends on how it is filled. This page uses 120 g for a metric cup spooned and levelled. Sifted it can drop to about 100 g; scooped and tightly packed it can reach 125 g. Weigh for the most reliable result.

Cocoa powder is a concentrated, unsweetened powder made from roasted cocoa beans with most of the cocoa butter removed. It comes in two main varieties: natural (acidic, lighter in colour) and Dutch-process (alkalised, darker and milder). It is used in cakes, brownies, frostings, and hot chocolate. One metric cup of cocoa powder weighs approximately 120 grams.

Cocoa powder is very light and can compact significantly when scooped, so measuring by weight gives far more consistent results than measuring by volume. This page helps you convert cocoa powder between grams, cups, tablespoons, and more so your recipes turn out reliably every time.

Chocolate chips are sweetened solid drops that stay whole when baked, unlike fine, bitter cocoa powder. They pack heavier (180 g vs 120 g per cup), so swap by weight and expect added sugar and melty texture rather than dry chocolate flavour. See what 100 grams of chocolate chips is in tablespoons.
