How many grams is 1/4 cup of cocoa powder?
Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of cocoa powder weighs 86 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169593 “Cocoa, dry powder, unsweetened”, portion “1 cup” = 86 grams.
1/4 cup of cocoa powder equals 21.5 grams; the way back, from grams to cups, is the Grams to Cups converter.
This is the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A recipe written for the metric cup of 250 ml (Australia, New Zealand, Canada) means 5.7 % more: 22.7 grams.
How 1/4 cup of cocoa powder was converted to grams
One US cup of cocoa powder weighs 86 grams (eighty-six), so multiply 1/4 by 86.
1/4 × 86 g
=21.5 grams
(twenty-one point five grams)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169593 “Cocoa, dry powder, unsweetened”, portion “1 cup” = 86 grams. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a cup weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

The other way round: how many cups a weight fills
This page starts from cups and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many cups a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to cups converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of cocoa powder is 1.16 cups there.
