Measuring 100g of cocoa powder without a scale
No scale? 100 g of cocoa powder is about 1.18 cups, or roughly 1 cup + 3 tablespoons using standard US measuring cups and spoons. Spoon it in and level off the top instead of scooping, which packs in extra.
One hundred grams of cocoa powder (about 1.18 US cups) is bakery-scale: a tall three-layer chocolate cake, a big-batch brownie sheet pan, or roughly two to three dozen cookies. That's nearly a full standard 100 g retail tin emptied in one go. With this much, even small percentage swaps between brands shift bitterness, so taste-test your batter. Toasting the cocoa briefly or blooming it in hot coffee or water deepens flavor dramatically at this volume.
