Okay, let’s get the boring part out of the way. Two-thirds of a cup is 10 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons. Yes, I know. That’s weird. But hear me out.
Most liquid measuring cups have a line for ⅔. But if you’re like me, you own a set of dry cups with a ⅓ and a ½, but no ⅔ cup. It’s like the universe wants you to mess up banana bread.
So, what do you do? Easy: grab your ⅓ cup measure. Fill it twice. Boom. You’ve got ⅔ cup. Two scoops of ⅓ equals ⅔. Math isn’t always a nightmare, people.
But Wait—What If You Only Have ¼ Cup?
Ah, the classic back-up-plan question. If you only have a ¼ cup, you’ll need 2 and ⅔ of them. That’s two full ¼ cups plus a little extra. That “little extra” is about 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons. Or, you know, just use a ½ cup and then add a ¼ cup, but only fill it ⅔ of the way. You’re welcome.
Let’s be real: this is the part where most people just eyeball it. And honestly? For baking, that’s a sin. For pasta sauce? Fine. Just don’t do it when you’re making cookies. Cookies are judgmental.
