Cups 1/3 of cocoa powder converts to Tablespoons 5. This conversion is based on the actual weight and density of cocoa powder, which differs from other ingredients.
This conversion is especially useful when following recipe shorthand, small batch baking — where measurements are typically given in tablespoons.
Remember that cocoa powder should be measured using the spoon-and-level method for cups: spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup, then level off with a flat edge. Scooping directly from the container can pack the ingredient and give inaccurate results.
