Questions & answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this weight ounces or fluid ounces?
It is weight ounces. This page converts cup volume into ingredient mass, not fluid ounces.
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.
