240 Grams of Cocoa Powder to Cups
240 grams of cocoa powder equals 2 ⅞ cups (2.86 US cups), based on 84 g per cup (spoon-and-level method). In the kitchen, measure 2 cups + 14 tbsp. For best results, weigh cocoa powder with a scale — cup measurements vary with how the cup is filled.
This is a typical single-recipe amount, where how you fill the cup matters most: scooped cocoa powder can pack 20–30% heavier than spooned.

How to measure 240 g of cocoa powder without a scale
