1 1/2 Cups of Cocoa Powder in Grams
1 1/2 cups of cocoa powder weighs 126 grams (about 4.4 oz), based on 84 g per US cup (spoon-and-level method). That's the same as 24 tablespoons of cocoa powder. When a recipe's outcome depends on accuracy — especially baking — weigh it instead of measuring by cup.
1 1/2 cups is one full cup plus a half (84 g + 42 g). At this size the fill method starts to matter: the error in each cup is added, not averaged.

|---|---|---|---|
| Half | ¾ cup | 63 g | 12 tablespoons |
| As written | 1 ½ cups | 126 g | 24 tablespoons |
| Double | 3 cups | 252 g | 48 tablespoons |
