Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 1.79g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 0.25 teaspoons of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of cocoa powder = 1.79g
0.25 × 1.79 = 0.45g
Convert grams to ounces: 0.45 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.02 oz

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.
