Why measuring coconut oil by cup goes wrong
Coconut oil is solid below about 76 °F and liquid above. A cup weighs 218 grams in either state. Virgin (unrefined) coconut oil has a pronounced coconut flavor; refined coconut oil is nearly neutral and is the better choice when you don't want to taste it.
Practical tips for working with coconut oil
When a recipe says 'melted coconut oil,' let it cool to lukewarm before mixing it into cold liquids or cold eggs. Hot coconut oil hitting a cold ingredient seizes back into white solid specks instantly — your batter will look curdled and the texture suffers. Warm all liquids to the same temperature before combining, or work with everything at room temperature.
Note from this ingredient's record: Solid below ~76 °F. Melt and cool to lukewarm before adding to cold ingredients or it will seize into white specks.
