Why grams to cups depends on the ingredient
Grams measure weight
Grams are a unit of mass, so they tell you how heavy an ingredient is.
Cups measure volume
Cups measure how much space an ingredient takes up.
Density changes the result
A cup of flour, sugar, and butter fills the same volume, but each one has a different weight.
Same volume, different weight
1 cup All-purpose flour
= 120g
1 cup Granulated sugar
= 198g
1 cup Butter
= 227g
All measured using US cup / 240 ml
How to convert grams to cups
cups = grams ÷ grams per cup
Example: 100g all-purpose flour ÷ 120g per cup = 0.83 cups
Reverse conversion
grams = cups × grams per cup
Use this to convert cups back to grams.
US cups, metric cups, and cup sizes
This calculator uses US cup / 240 ml by default, but you can switch cup types when needed.
US cup / 240 ml
US customary cup / 236.6 ml
Metric cup / 250 ml
Baking measurement tips
For flour
Use the spoon-and-level method if you do not have a kitchen scale.
For brown sugar
Check whether the recipe says packed or loosely packed.
For butter
Butter is easier to convert because it is often labeled in sticks, tablespoons, grams, and cups.
For liquids
Milk and water are close to 240g per US cup, while honey and syrup are heavier.
