Cups to Grams Converter

Direct Answer Summary

Converting cups to grams requires knowing your ingredient's density, because volume does not translate directly to weight. For all-purpose flour, 1 cup equals 125 grams. For granulated white sugar, 1 cup equals 200 grams. For butter, 1 cup equals 227 grams, while 1 cup of white rice equals 185 grams.

Convert US cups to grams for flour, sugar, butter, rice, and liquids with ingredient density precision.

Density Variance

Weight Beats Volume

A cup of flour weighs 125g, while a cup of granulated sugar weighs 200g. Density differences mean 1 cup cannot have a single fixed weight.

Flour Technique

Spoon & Level Method

Scooping directly from the bag packs flour down by up to 25% (150g+ per cup), causing dry, dense cakes and bread. Spoon into the cup and level off.

Convection Adjustment

Reduce Fan Temp by 20°C / 25°F

Fan-forced ovens circulate air more efficiently. When baking with convection, reduce standard recipe temperatures by 20°C (25°F).

Culinary Questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

Expert answers regarding kitchen unit conversions, ingredient density, and oven calibration.

How many grams are in 1 cup of all-purpose flour?↓

One level cup of all-purpose flour scooped using the spoon-and-level method weighs approximately 125 grams (4.4 oz).

Why do flour and sugar weigh different amounts in the same cup?↓

Sugar crystals pack closely together, giving granulated sugar a high density (200g/cup), whereas flour contains trapped air pockets, resulting in a lighter density (125g/cup).

How many grams is 1 cup of butter?↓

One cup of butter (two standard US sticks) weighs exactly 226.8 grams (8 ounces).
