Flour is a liar. It settles, it fluffs, it breathes. So when a recipe calls for ⅔ cup of flour, don’t just scoop. Spoon it into your cup, then level it off with a knife. Why? Because if you jam the cup into the bag, you get ⅔ cup of compressed flour, which is like ¾ cup in disguise. Your cake will look sad. And nobody wants a sad cake.
What is 2 3 Cup Doubled? Things You Should Know
For liquids like oil, milk, or honey, use a liquid measuring cup. You know, the glass one with a spout? Pour until the line hits ⅔. Easy peasy. Honey is sticky, though. Spray the cup with oil first. You’re welcome in advance.
What About Half of ⅔ Cup?
Oh, you really want to hurt your brain? Half of ⅔ cup is ⅓ cup. Yes. Half of two-thirds is one-third. That’s literally the recipe for math magic. So if you’re cutting a recipe in half, just use ⅓ cup. Done. Go pet your dog.
But what about a double recipe? Then ⅔ cup becomes 1 and ⅓ cups. That’s one full cup plus another ⅓. Simple. Unless you have no ⅓ cup, in which case… well, we’ve been here before.
