Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 22.36 grams of cocoa powder
- 1 cup of cocoa powder = 86g
- 22.36g ÷ 86g/cup = 0.26 cups × 48 = 12.48 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Cocoa powder is extremely light and airy. It compacts easily, so always spoon it into the cup and level off rather than scooping.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
What is a Teaspoon?
In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.
