How to Convert Cups to Grams
Formula
Cup-to-gram conversion varies by ingredient because ingredients have different densities. One cup of flour weighs about 120g while one cup of sugar weighs 200g.
Using a kitchen scale for weight measurements is more accurate than volume cups and produces more consistent baking results.
Common use cases:
- Baking recipe conversions
- International recipe adaptation
- Precise ingredient measurement
