What is the Equivalent of 1 chocolate square to cocoa?
1 ounce (28 grams) of bittersweet or semisweet chocolate contains about 2 teaspoons (8 grams) of cocoa powder. If you're using unsweetened chocolate, you can use 1 ounce (28 grams) of chocolate for every 3 teaspoons (12 grams) of cocoa powder.
So, if a recipe calls for 1/2 cup (60 grams) of cocoa powder, you can use 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, or 2 ounces (56 grams) of unsweetened chocolate.
Here is a table that shows the equivalents of chocolate squares to cocoa powder:
|Chocolate Squares | Cocoa Powder |
|---|---|
|1 square (1 ounce) | 2 teaspoons |
|2 squares (2 ounces) | 4 teaspoons |
|3 squares (3 ounces) | 6 teaspoons |
|4 squares (4 ounces) | 8 teaspoons |
Keep in mind that these equivalents are approximate, and the actual amount of cocoa powder you need may vary depending on the recipe and the type of chocolate you're using.
