About This Tool
Baking by weight is more accurate than measuring by volume, but most American recipes use cups. The problem? A cup of flour weighs 125 grams, while a cup of sugar weighs 200 grams and a cup of butter weighs 227 grams. Every ingredient is different.
This converter covers 40+ common baking and cooking ingredients with accurate gram-per-cup values. Select your ingredient, enter the amount in cups (or grams), and get an instant conversion. It handles fractions like ⅓ cup and ¾ cup, and you can switch between cups-to-grams and grams-to-cups with one click.
Whether you're following a European recipe that uses grams, adapting an American recipe for a kitchen scale, or just want to bake more precisely — this is the fastest way to convert between cups and grams for any ingredient.

Formula
Grams = Cups × Grams per Cup (for that ingredient)
Cups = Grams ÷ Grams per Cup (for that ingredient)
Examples:
2 cups all-purpose flour = 2 × 125 = 250 g
1½ cups sugar = 1.5 × 200 = 300 g
250 g butter = 250 ÷ 227 ≈ 1.10 cups
