Cups, tablespoons, grams and ounces — translated
This cooking converter handles the three conversions every kitchen needs: ingredient-aware cups to grams (because a cup of flour and a cup of sugar weigh very different amounts), general volume conversions between teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, ml and liters, and weight conversions between grams, ounces, pounds and kilograms.
Why cup measurements bite bakers
Volume measures are convenient but ambiguous: flour compacts, brown sugar packs, and a “cup” means 237 ml in the US but 250 ml in Australia. Baking is chemistry — 20 g of extra flour changes a cookie. The ingredient table in this tool uses standard baking references (flour ≈ 120 g/cup, granulated sugar ≈ 200 g/cup, butter ≈ 227 g/cup) so metric bakers can follow American recipes accurately, and vice versa.
Fast enough to use mid-recipe
Everything converts live with flour-dusted-fingers simplicity, and the half-cup column in the table saves the arithmetic when you're scaling a recipe down. Scaling up or down further? The fraction calculator handles the 3/4-of-2/3-cup math, and the unit converter covers temperatures and everything beyond the kitchen.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is 1 cup of flour?
About 120 g for all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled. Scooping straight from the bag compacts it and can push a 'cup' to 140–150 g — one reason recipes by weight are more reliable.
Why is cups-to-grams different for every ingredient?
A cup measures volume, but ingredients have different densities: a cup of sugar (~200 g) weighs far more than a cup of flour (~120 g). That's why this tool converts per ingredient rather than with one factor.
How many tablespoons are in a cup?
16 tablespoons in a US cup. Also handy: 3 teaspoons per tablespoon and 8 fl oz per cup.
Are US and metric cups the same?
No. A US cup is about 237 ml, a metric cup (Australia and elsewhere) is 250 ml, and old UK imperial cups differ again. This tool uses US customary measures — check which your recipe means.
Should I bake by weight or volume?
Weight, when you can. Grams are unambiguous, while cup measurements vary with how the ingredient is packed. Use the cups→grams tab to translate a volume-based recipe to your scale.
