Why Cup Weights Vary in Chocolate & Cocoa
Chocolate product density depends on cocoa butter fat percentage, sugar particle milling, and physical form. Unsweetened natural cocoa powder is milled defatted cacao cake; its airy powder particles trap air, weighing only 85 grams per cup. Dutch-process cocoa undergoes alkalization, yielding a slightly darker, denser powder at 90g per cup. Chocolate chips contain sugar, cocoa solids, lecithin, and cocoa butter pressed into teardrop shapes; standard chips weigh 170g per cup, while mini chocolate chips pack closer together to reach 180g per cup. Chopped bar chocolate varies between 150g and 170g depending on chop size.
