To convert cups to grams, multiply the number of cups by the ingredient’s grams-per-cup density (e.g. 1 cup of all-purpose flour ≈ 125 g, 1 cup of granulated sugar ≈ 200 g).

FAQ

How many grams are in a cup?

It depends on the ingredient. A cup of flour is about 125 g, sugar about 200 g, and butter about 227 g.

Why isn’t cups-to-grams a fixed number?

Cups measure volume and grams measure weight. Denser ingredients weigh more per cup, so each ingredient converts differently.
