Baking, mostly. Doubling a recipe for chocolate chip cookies? You need 1 and 1/3 cups of brown sugar. Making a giant batch of pancake mix? Same deal. Or maybe you’re trying to make a monster smoothie and the math is ruining your vibe.
What is 2 3 Cup Doubled? Things You Should Know
Also, let’s be real: if you’re scaling up a cocktail recipe (shout out to margaritas), 2/3 plus 2/3 of a cup of tequila is a very good decision. Just sayin’.
