Formula Explanation
Baking conversions depend on the ingredient because different ingredients have different densities. One cup of flour weighs less than one cup of sugar.
Variables:
Worked Examples
2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1. 1 cup flour = 120g
- 2. 2 cups = 240g
- 3. = 8.5 oz = 32 tbsp
Why Use This Calculator
- Convert accurately between weight and volume.
- Bake with precision using a kitchen scale.
- Adjust international recipes.
- Scale recipes up or down.
Tips & Best Practices
- Weighing ingredients (grams) is more accurate than measuring by volume (cups).
- Scooping flour directly from the bag packs it — spoon into the cup for accuracy.
- 1 stick of butter = 1/2 cup = 113g.
- Brown sugar should be packed firmly into the measuring cup.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Assuming all ingredients weigh the same per cup.
✅ 1 cup flour ≈ 120g, but 1 cup sugar ≈ 200g and 1 cup butter ≈ 227g. Always use ingredient-specific conversions.
❌ Using liquid measuring cups for dry ingredients.
✅ Liquid and dry measuring cups measure differently. Use graduated dry cups for flour/sugar and glass measures with pour spouts for liquids.
