Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 64.5 grams of cocoa powder
- 1 cup of cocoa powder = 86g
- 64.5g ÷ 86g/cup = 0.75 cups × 16 = 12.00 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Dutch-process and natural cocoa powder have similar densities but behave differently in recipes. They are not interchangeable when leavening is involved.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
What is a Tablespoon?
Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
