Formula
Grams = Cups × Grams per Cup (ingredient-specific)
Each ingredient has a unique density determining its weight per cup.
Example
Example: 2 cups of all-purpose flour:
2 × 125 g = 250 g
Frequently Asked Questions
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 125 grams. Bread flour weighs about 130 g, and cake flour about 114 g per cup.
- 1 cup of granulated white sugar weighs about 200 grams. Brown sugar (packed) is about 220 g, and powdered sugar about 120 g.
- 1 cup of butter weighs about 227 grams (approximately 2 sticks in the US).
- Cups measure volume, not weight. Ingredients have different densities — flour is light and airy while butter and honey are dense, so the same cup volume yields very different weights.
- Grams are more accurate for baking since volume measurements can vary based on how tightly you pack the cup. Professional bakers always recommend weighing ingredients.
