Measuring ⅔ US Cup of Honey in the Kitchen
Measured poured liquid at a verified bulk density of 340g per US cup, ⅔ US cup of honey weighs 226.7 grams (8 ounces). Measured using the creamed / spun honey method (345g/cup), that same ⅔ cup holds 230g — a 3.3g difference in your mixing bowl.
Coat the measuring cup with a thin wipe of neutral oil or non-stick spray so viscous honey slides out cleanly without leaving residue behind.
