How to measure 1/8 cup of cocoa powder
By weight (most accurate): set your bowl on a kitchen scale, press tare, and add 11 g of cocoa powder.
By volume: Use 2 level tablespoons. Most measuring-cup sets do not include a 1/8 cup.
Cocoa powder clumps easily and traps air, so sift it before measuring for the most consistent results.
Why cocoa powder weighs what it does
Cocoa powder is about 64% lighter than the same volume of water, which weighs about 237 g per cup. That is why you can't convert cups to grams without knowing the ingredient.
