Convert grams to cups for accurate baking and cooking measurements
Formula: Cups = Grams ÷ 125g/cup
125g ÷ 125 = 1.00 cups
| Grams (g) | Cups |
|---|---|
| 31g | 0.25 cups |
| 41g | 0.33 cups |
| 63g | 0.5 cups |
| 84g | 0.67 cups |
| 94g | 0.75 cups |
| 125g | 1 cup |
| 188g | 1.5 cups |
| 250g | 2 cups |
| 313g | 2.5 cups |
| 375g | 3 cups |
| 500g | 4 cups |
| 625g | 5 cups |
Baking is a science that requires precision. While cups are common in US recipes, weighing ingredients in grams provides superior accuracy. Different ingredients have different densities - a cup of flour weighs much less than a cup of sugar. This is why professional bakers prefer weight measurements.
The conversion from grams to cups varies significantly by ingredient:
A US cup equals 236.588 mL, while an imperial cup (used in UK/Canada) is 284.131 mL. This converter uses US cup measurements. When converting international recipes, always verify which cup measurement is being used.
It depends on the ingredient. Water is approximately 237g per cup, all-purpose flour is about 125g per cup, and granulated sugar is around 200g per cup. Always use ingredient-specific conversions for accuracy.
Different ingredients have different densities. A cup measures volume, while grams measure weight. Light, airy ingredients like flour weigh less per cup than dense ingredients like honey or butter.
Weight (grams) is more accurate for baking because it eliminates variables like how tightly ingredients are packed. Professional bakers and most European recipes use weight measurements for consistent results.
Yes, but the conversion differs. For example, packed brown sugar weighs about 220g per cup, while unpacked is closer to 180g. Always check if a recipe specifies packed or sifted measurements.
