Brand Variance Example
Baseline on this page: 1 cup dutch-process cocoa powder = 118g. Real-world range can shift by about 6% because fine powders and leaveners settle during storage, changing cup density.
Example for 2 cups: baseline 236g, common range 222g-250g. If your bake is texture-sensitive, start with the lower bound and adjust after a test batch.
