How 2 tbsp of cottage cheese works out
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup, so take the weight of a cup of cottage cheese and multiply: 225 × 0.125 = 28.1 g. By volume that is 29.6 ml, the same in the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand.
Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon holds 20 ml, not 15, so 2 tbsp of cottage cheese from an Australian recipe is about 38 g. Heaped spoons are not a measure at all; a heaped spoonful can hold half as much again.
Tip: Scoop cottage cheese and level it without packing. Blending it smooth before measuring gives a more consistent weight for baking.
