Why do gram weights for cocoa powder vary between recipes?
Volume measurements depend on how the ingredient is packed. Spooned-and-leveled cocoa powder weighs less than scooped. Our values use standard baking averages, so brands and techniques may differ by a few percent.
Is it better to measure cocoa powder by weight or volume?
