Cocoa Powder (Unsweetened) – cups to grams
Cocoa powder is notorious for compacting. A cup measured by 'scooping' can weigh up to 100g, while a 'spooned' cup weighs about 85g. This 15% excess makes brownies dry and chalky. Weighing your cocoa guarantees that moist, fudgy texture every time.

FAQ

- The density is similar, but the chemistry isn't. Dutch is neutral; Natural is acidic. While 100g weighs the same, check your recipe to ensure your leavening agent (soda vs powder) matches the cocoa type.
