A litre is measured in litres, not in cubic centimetres. However, 1 litre is equivalent to 1000 cubic centimetres so, if you want more precise measurements, you can either give the measures in litres - to 3 decimal places - or give the corresponding measure in cubic centimetres.

For example, 2.273 litres = 2273 cubic centimetres.

Wouldn't that be 1,000 milliliters or 100 centiliters to equal a liter?

A liter is equivalent to 1000 cubic centimeters because the volume of a cube with sides of 10 centimeters is 1000 cubic centimeters. This unit conversion makes it easier to work with larger volumes in everyday situations.
