How to Convert Flour Cups to Grams

Formula

Grams = Cups x Flour Density (g/cup)

Different flour types have different densities because of their protein content and grind fineness.

Flour Densities

  • All-purpose: 125 g/cup
  • Bread flour: 130 g/cup (higher protein)
  • Cake flour: 115 g/cup (finer, lighter)
  • Whole wheat: 113 g/cup
  • Almond flour: 156 g/cup (denser)

    • Worked Example

    Convert 2 cups of all-purpose flour to grams.

    cups = 2flour_density = 125
    1. 01All-purpose flour density: 125 g per cup.
