Measuring Ground Cinnamon Accurately
Why weight matters: 2/3 cup of ground cinnamon can weigh anywhere from 67g to 95g depending on how you measure it. The USDA standard is 79.33g (spooned and leveled). Scooping directly from the container can add 10–20% extra weight, which affects recipe results — especially in baking.
About ground cinnamon density: Ground cinnamon is a light, fine powder. 1 teaspoon = 2.5g. Ceylon and Cassia cinnamon weigh the same per volume. Most "cinnamon" in US stores is Cassia. Freshly ground sticks weigh slightly more per volume.
About 2/3 Cup as a Measurement
2/3 cup = 10 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons = 160ml. This measure appears when scaling up 1/3 cup recipes by doubling. Use two 1/3-cup measures for accuracy, as 2/3 cup sets are less common.
Two-thirds cup is often seen in oatmeal cookie recipes, breakfast grain bowls, and rice cooker recipes for 2 servings. It equals exactly 160ml or approximately 5.4 fluid ounces.
