Convert between cups, grams, ounces, and tablespoons for common baking ingredients.
Accurate measurement is crucial in baking. Unlike general cooking where you can often adjust ingredients to taste, baking is a science that relies on precise chemical reactions between ingredients. This is why converting between volume (cups) and weight (grams) isn't straightforward—different ingredients have different densities.
At Calculator Site, we designed this tool to handle the complex math for you. It uses a database of common ingredient densities to provide accurate conversions. A cup of dense brown sugar weighs significantly more than a cup of light, airy flour. Using a generic conversion would ruin your recipe, but this tool ensures precision every time. For other kitchen conversions, check out our Oven Temperature Converter or our dedicated Cups Calculator for quick cup-to-gram lookups.
Pro Tip: Use a Digital Scale
For maximum accuracy, professional bakers always measure dry ingredients by weight, not volume. A cup of flour can vary in weight by 20% depending on how it's packed. A digital scale eliminates this variable, guaranteeing consistent results. This calculator is the next best thing, but a scale is a baker's best friend.
The weight of one US cup (236ml) varies dramatically by ingredient. Here are some common examples that highlight why a dedicated conversion tool is so important for your baking projects.
~125g
1 Cup of Plain Flour
~200g
1 Cup of Caster Sugar
~227g
1 Cup of Butter
Notice how butter is almost twice as heavy as flour for the same volume. You can also use our Cake Tin Converter to scale your recipes perfectly.
