But always check the origin of the recipe you will make since different countries employ different measurement systems.

Different cup sizes

Cup sizes vary between different countries, but how much? For example, is a cup of flour different in the US and the UK? Would that difference affect the baking results?

First, the United States has its own measurement convention called 'US cups,' where ⅔ customary or ⅔ standard cup is equal:

• ⅔ US Cup = 157.73 mL
• ⅔ US Cup = 10.66 US tablespoons (tbsp)
• ⅔ US Cup = 10.51 metric tablespoons (United Kingdom, international)

An American tablespoon equals 0.0625 American cups. Another is a legal US cup used in cooking units, serving sizes, and nutrition labeling in the USA.

• ⅔ US Legal Cup = 160 mL
• ⅔ US Legal Cup = 10.82 US tablespoons (tbsp)
• ⅔ US Legal Cup = 10.66 metric tablespoons (UK, international)

English-speaking countries such as Australia, Canada, and South Africa use the metric system, where

• ⅔ Metric Cup = 166.67 mL.

The old recipes in the United Kingdom use the British imperial system, where an Imperial (UK) cup is a non-metric liquid measurement unit of volume. Modern recipes in the UK use UK metric cup.

• ⅔ Imperial Cup = 189.33 mL
• ⅔ UK Metric Cup = 166.67 mL

1 cup	Milliliters	⅔ cup	Milliliters
US Customary Cup	236.59 ml	US Customary Cup	157.73 ml
US Legal Cup	240 ml	US Legal Cup	160 ml
UK Metric Cup	250 ml	UK Metric Cup	166.67 ml
UK Imperial Cup	284.13 ml	UK Imperial Cup	189.33 ml
Australian Cup	250 ml	Australian Cup	166.67 ml
Canadian Cup	250 ml	Canadian Cup	166.67 ml
South African Cup	250 ml	South African Cup	166.67 ml

Tablespoon sizes

The same is about tablespoons which also vary by different countries worldwide. Most countries, expert the USA and Australia, employ a metric tablespoon equal to 15 ml.

Here are different sizes of tablespoons:

• 1 US tablespoon = 14.8 ml or 0.5 US fl oz
• 1 UK tablespoon = 15 ml
• 1 Canadian tablespoon = 15 ml or 0.51 US fl oz
• 1 Australian tablespoon = 20 ml or 0.68 US fl oz

How many tablespoons in ⅔ cup

Or how many tablespoon equal ⅔ cup? There are 10 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons in ⅔ cup (US system).

How to convert ⅔ cup to tablespoons (⅔ cup to tbsp)

1 cup = 16 tablespoons (US system), so here is a simple formula:

Tbsp = cups x 16, where the conversion factor is 16;

⅔ x 16 = 10 ⅔ tbsp

So there are 10 ⅔ tablespoons in ⅔ cup. Since a teaspoon equals ⅓ of a tablespoon, ⅔ cup equals 10 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons.

⅔ cup to tablespoon conversion

Here is a handy chart of dry measuring cups (abbreviated as 'c' or cup), the tablespoons (or tbsp), fluid ounces (or fl oz), and milliliters (ml) equivalency.

Note: The two-thirds cup to tablespoons and fluid ounces conversion is in bold. ⅔ cup in ml is also a part of this conversion.

Cups	Tablespoons	Fluid ounces	Milliliters
1/16 cup	1 tbsp	½ fl. oz.	14.79 ml
⅛ cup	2 tbsp	1 fl. oz.	29.57 ml
⅙ cup	2 tablespoon + 2 tsp	1 ⅓ fl. oz.	39.43 ml
¼ cup	4 tbsp	2 fl. oz.	59.15 ml
⅓ cup	5 tablespoon + 1 tsp	2 ⅔ fl. oz.	78.86 ml
½ cup	8 tbsp	4 fl. oz.	118.29 ml
⅔ cup	10 tablespoon + 2 tsp	5 ⅓ fl. oz	157.73 ml
¾ cup	12 tbsp	6 fl. oz.	177.44 ml
1 cup	16 tbsp	8 fl. oz.	236.59 ml

The above chart helps to convert ⅔ cup of all purpose flour, white sugar, and other dry ingredients to tablespoons if you measure dry goods by volume.

How many tablespoons of butter in ⅔ cup

But how to use a conversion chart to measure the butter, margarine, and shortening? Since a tablespoon and a cup are both volume units, the answer will be the same, no matter the dry or liquid ingredients you use.

According to the easy reference table below, one cup of butter equals 2 butter sticks, half cup - one stick. ⅔ cup of butter equals:

• 1 ⅓ sticks of butter, or
• 10 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons of butter, or
• 5.33 ounces, or
• 151.2 grams.

tablespoon	Cups	Ounces	Grams	Stick of butter
16 tbsp	1 cup	8 oz.	226.8 g	2 sticks
12 tbsp	¾ cup	6 oz.	170.1 g	1 ½ sticks
10 tablespoon + 2 tsp	⅔ cup	5.33 oz.	151.2 g	1 ⅓ sticks
8 tbsp	½ cup	4 oz.	113.4 g	1 stick
5 tablespoon + 1 tsp	⅓ cup	2.66 oz.	75.6 g	⅔ stick
4 tbsp	¼ cup	2 oz.	56.7 g	½ stick

Around the world, ⅔ cups are not all equal. Depending on the recipe, ⅔ cups to tablespoons conversions have slight differences.

⅔ cup	Milliliters	US tablespoons	UK tablespoons Imperial
US (standard)	157.73 ml	10.67 tbsp	8.89 tbsp
UK (Imperial)	189.33 ml	12.8 tbsp	10.67 tbsp
UK (metric)	166.66 ml	11.27 tbsp	9.39 tbsp
Australia	166.66 ml	11.27 tbsp	9.39 tbsp
Canada	166.66 ml	11.27 tbsp	9.39 tbsp
South Africa	166.66 ml	11.27 tbsp	9.39 tbsp

How to measure ⅔ cup

Or how to measure two-thirds of a cup? Should you measure two times by one-third of a cup, or is there another easy way?

There are different ways how to measure ⅔ cup:

• Use a ⅔ measuring cup.
• Use a ⅓ cup and fill it twice.
• Use a ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons.
• Use 10 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons.
• Use 32 teaspoons.

But how to measure a ⅔ cup without a measuring cup or spoon? If you do not have measurement tools:

• Use the size of your fist or a large apple, approximately equal to one cup. Divide that amount into thirds, and discard one-third.
• Look at the weight of the package. Butter and cream cheese often have markings you can use for your convenience.

But first and foremost, you must have a set of measuring cups and spoons if you are used to the US customary system (USCS). You should use a dry measuring cup for dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, nuts, chocolate chips, etc.

Liquid ingredients should be measured with specially-designed liquid measuring cups, which often come in sizes like 4 or 8 cups.

To measure dry products, such as flour, and cocoa powder, follow the scoop and level method. First, make sure to sift a dry ingredient, then fill the ⅔ measuring cup and level the ingredient across the top of the cup using the back of a butter knife.

Please, note that the recipes call for a level cup and level tablespoon or teaspoon (not heaped).

Measuring semi-solid or semi-liquid ingredients, such as honey, molasses, sour cream, etc., is better achieved with a dry measuring cup.

To measure liquid ingredients, use a liquid measuring cup set on a flat surface. Ensure that the wet ingredients are either at room temperature or melted.

Pour the liquid into a liquid measuring cup (don't use a tea or coffee mug or cup instead), and bend over to find the measuring mark at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus is the level of the ⅔ cup marking.

To measure small amounts of dry or liquid ingredients, use a set of measuring spoons. Please don't use a dessert spoon; it is used for eating desserts but not measuring ingredients.

With little practice, you will become a pro at measuring ingredients. But if your recipe is listed in metric measurements, it is time to invest in a kitchen scale.

Digital scales will ensure the most accurate measurements of ingredients. In addition, it will guarantee consistent results in baking.
