Baking Conversion Calculator
Convert flour, sugar, butter, milk and other baking ingredients between cups and grams. Accurate ingredient‑specific densities for perfect baking every time.
About This Baking Conversion Calculator
Baking is a science — precise measurements matter. This calculator helps you convert between cups and grams for common baking ingredients using accurate density values. A cup of all‑purpose flour weighs about 120g, while a cup of granulated sugar weighs about 200g. Using grams instead of cups gives you more consistent and reproducible results.
Select your ingredient, enter the value, and choose whether you're converting from cups to grams or grams to cups. The calculator does the rest.
Why Grams Are Better for Baking
Cups are inconsistent — the same cup of flour can weigh 120g or 150g depending on how you scoop. Grams are exact. By converting your recipes to grams, you'll get the same results every time you bake.
Frequently Asked Questions
Select your ingredient, enter the number of cups, choose "Cups" as the from unit, and click Convert. The calculator will show the weight in grams using the ingredient's specific density.
1 cup of all‑purpose flour = 120g. Bread flour = 127g, cake flour = 100g, whole wheat flour = 130g.
1 cup of granulated sugar = 200g. Brown sugar (packed) = 220g, powdered sugar = 120g.
1 cup of butter = 227g (2 sticks). 1 tablespoon = 14.2g.
100g of all‑purpose flour = about 0.83 cups (100 ÷ 120). Use the calculator for exact conversions.
Note: Densities are averages. For the most accurate baking, always use a kitchen scale. Different brands and storage conditions can affect ingredient density.
