Convert cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons of an ingredient into grams. Perfect for when a recipe lists volumes but your scale only reads grams – choose the ingredient, enter the amount, and get the weight. Because a cup of flour and a cup of honey weigh very different amounts, this converter uses each ingredient density.
Usage Tip
Spoon dry ingredients into the cup and level off – scooping packs in extra weight.
Why one cup is not one weight
One cup does not weigh the same for every ingredient, because ingredients have different densities. A cup of honey weighs nearly three times a cup of flour – which is exactly why this converter asks you to choose the ingredient.

How many grams in a cup?
How many grams in a cup of flour?
A cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 125 g when spooned into the cup and leveled off. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can push a cup past 150 g – enough extra to dry out a cake. Bread flour is a little heavier at roughly 130 g, cake flour lighter at about 115 g, and whole wheat around 120 g. For consistent baking, spoon and level, or weigh the flour directly.
How many grams in a cup of sugar?
A cup of granulated white sugar weighs about 200 g. Packed brown sugar is denser at roughly 220 g per cup, because the molasses and the packing compress it. Powdered (icing) sugar is light and airy at about 120 g per cup. Pack brown sugar firmly into the cup unless your recipe says otherwise, and sift powdered sugar if it has clumped.
How many grams in a cup of butter?
A cup of butter weighs about 227 g, which is two standard US sticks. One stick is 113 g, equal to half a cup or 8 tablespoons. Cold cubed butter and softened packed butter can differ slightly by volume, so weighing is the most reliable way to measure it for baking.
How many grams in a cup of rice?
A cup of uncooked long-grain white rice weighs about 185 g. Variety matters: short-grain and arborio are a touch denser, basmati slightly lighter. Cooked rice weighs far more per cup once it absorbs water, so these figures are for dry, uncooked rice as a recipe would list it.
