  • 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.
