Baking is all fun and games until the dreaded 2/3 cup measurement makes an appearance in your recipe. Here’s the thing, though… you don’t have a 2/3 measuring cup on hand. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to accurately improvise in the kitchen—and we’re here to show you how. Read on to learn how to measure both dry and wet ingredients accurately, as well as some common ingredient conversions you might need for your recipes.
Things You Should Know
- Measure out dry ingredients using a 1/3 measuring cup twice. For liquid ingredients, use a liquid measuring cup.

- Place your dry ingredients on a kitchen scale to get precise measurements for your recipes.
