Why weigh cocoa powder (unsweetened) instead of measuring cups?
A cup measures volume, but recipes really care about how much cocoa powder (unsweetened) you add by weight. One US cup of cocoa powder (unsweetened) is taken as 85 g here, cited from King Arthur Baking, and every conversion on this page routes through that figure. Volume-to-volume and weight-to-weight steps are exact, but the cup→gram crossing depends on how the cocoa powder (unsweetened) is packed, so a kitchen scale is the reliable way to hit the same result every time.
