Cocoa Powder Grams to Cups

One cup of unsweetened cocoa powder weighs 86 grams. Cocoa is fine, fluffy, and prone to clumping, which makes it one of the least consistent ingredients to measure by volume.

Spoon cocoa into the measuring cup and level it — never pack it down. Recipes with a lot of cocoa often say "sifted" because the lumps both measure unevenly and resist mixing. Dutch-process and natural cocoa weigh about the same per cup; they differ in acidity, not density.
