- 1/3 cup flaked coconut
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Please follow the steps below when measuring flour by volume.
- Fluff up the flour.
- Sprinkle the flour into a dry-cup measure (the one that measures exactly 1 cup, 1/4 cup, etc. at the top).
- Scrape off the excess with a straight edge, such as a table knife.
