Cups to Grams Converter - Baking Measurement Conversion Tool

Volume measurements (cups) can vary significantly based on how ingredients are measured, while weight measurements (grams) are always consistent. For precise baking results, especially with flour and sugar, weight measurements ensure accuracy and repeatability.

Our calculator uses standard ingredient densities based on culinary references and baking science. These are averages that work well for most recipes. Actual densities can vary slightly based on brand, humidity, and measurement technique, but these values provide reliable results for home baking.

For ingredients not in our list, you can use the closest similar ingredient or look up the specific density online. Most baking ingredients fall into similar density ranges. For example, use "all-purpose flour" density for most wheat flours, or "sugar" density for most sweeteners.

For best results in baking, use weight measurements whenever possible, especially for flour, sugar, and other dry ingredients. Volume measurements work fine for liquids and when following less precise recipes. If a recipe provides both measurements, follow the weight measurements for consistency.

For flour: Spoon flour into the measuring cup and level with a knife (don't pack or tap). For brown sugar: Pack firmly into the cup. For granulated sugar and liquids: Use dry or liquid measuring cups respectively. A kitchen scale provides the most accuracy for all ingredients.
