Cups to Grams Converter
A cup of flour is 120g; a cup of sugar is 200g. The same volume weighs a different amount depending on what is in it, so you have to pick the ingredient to get this right. With no scale, you can also go the other way and turn grams into cups and spoons.
Cup standard
Flour (plain, cake) · volume 240ml
Why the ingredient matters
A cup of flour is 120g, a cup of sugar is 200g, a cup of honey is 284g. Same volume, different density. Treat every cup as the same weight and your baking will almost certainly fail.
Flour (plain, cake) — Sift it and level the cup off — do not heap or pack it
Currently using a 240ml cup, 15ml tablespoon and 5ml teaspoon. Check which cup your recipe was written with — the two differ by 20%.
