Measuring coconut oil by cup and by weight
Coconut oil weighs about 226 g per cup, close to butter. Below roughly 76 °F (24 °C) it is solid and above it, liquid; that changes the volume you can pack into a cup, but not the weight. When a recipe says "melted coconut oil" measure it after melting, or weigh it. Cold ingredients can make melted coconut oil seize into clumps, so bring eggs and milk to room temperature.
