}Explanation
Calculation basis: the recorded grams-per-US-cup value.
Cocoa Powder uses a recorded reference of 84 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: high. Source basis: King Arthur weight chart (½ cup=42g)
Evidence status: reference-recorded. The source note is recorded; this does not certify every preparation or measurement condition. Whole versus ground form, grind size, settling, and leveling are important because these concentrated ingredients are commonly measured in small volumes.

Questions & answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this use a US cup?
Yes. The factor is tied to the US cup definition (236.588 mL), not a metric cup.
Do clumping or sifting change the result for Cocoa Powder?
Cocoa Powder keeps one reference basis here, but clumping, sifting, and aeration can change how the powder fills a spoon or cup. Keep the measuring method consistent if you want repeatable baking results.
