How the Cups to Grams Calculator Works
A cup is a measure of volume, a gram a measure of weight, so converting between them depends on the ingredient — a cup of flour weighs far less than a cup of honey. This calculator uses standard densities: all-purpose flour is about 125 g per cup, granulated sugar 200 g, butter 227 g, water 236 g. Pick your ingredient and it multiplies (cups to grams) or divides (grams to cups).
Baking is more reliable by weight than by volume, since a “cup” of flour varies with how it’s scooped. When a recipe gives grams, weighing is the accurate way to go.
grams = cups × grams-per-cup (varies by ingredient)
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams in a cup of flour?
About 125 grams for all-purpose flour, spooned and levelled. Packed or scooped, it can be more.
Why does cups to grams depend on the ingredient?
Cups measure volume and grams measure weight, so the conversion changes with density — a cup of sugar weighs more than a cup of flour.
Is it better to bake by weight?
Yes — weighing in grams is far more consistent than measuring cups, especially for flour.
