Measuring 350g of Unsweetened Natural Cocoa Powder in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of unsweetened natural cocoa powder weighs 85g when measured dip and sweep, 350 Grams (350g) translates to 4.12 US cups (4 ⅛ cups). By contrast, using the sifted cocoa powder measure (75g/cup — a 10g per-cup shift), 350g occupies 4 ⅔ cups (4.67 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 4 ⅛ cups (65.88 tablespoons total) using dip and sweep technique. Scoop natural cocoa powder gently and sweep level with a flat spatula. Cocoa powder is ultra-fine and electrostatic; sifting aerates it down to 75g per cup, whereas firm packing forces up to 100g into the cup.
