How to Convert Cups to Grams
Formula
Grams = Cups x Density (g/cup)
Cup-to-gram conversions depend on the ingredient because each ingredient has a different density. Flour is much lighter per cup than sugar or butter.
Why Weight Matters in Baking
Measuring by weight is more accurate than measuring by volume. A cup of flour can vary by 30 g depending on how it is scooped.
Example Calculation
Convert 2 cups of all-purpose flour to grams.
- 01Identify the density of all-purpose flour: 125 g per cup.
- 02Multiply: 2 cups x 125 g/cup = 250 g.
- 03The result is 250 grams of flour.
