Frequently Asked Questions

How many tablespoons are in a cup?
There are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup, and 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon. So 1 cup = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp.
How many grams are in a cup of flour?
1 cup of all-purpose flour ≈ 120-125g. This varies by measuring method. This converter uses 120g/cup as standard.
How do I convert cups to grams for baking?
You need the ingredient's density. 1 cup flour = 120g, 1 cup sugar = 200g, 1 cup butter = 227g. Select the ingredient above for accurate results.
Is a US cup the same as a metric cup?
No. US cup = 236.6ml, metric cup = 250ml. This converter uses US measurements. The difference matters in baking.
How many ounces are in a cup?
1 US cup = 8 fluid ounces (volume). For weight: 1 cup water ≈ 8.34 oz, 1 cup flour ≈ 4.25 oz, 1 cup sugar ≈ 7 oz.
What is the difference between fluid ounces and dry ounces?
Fluid ounces measure volume, dry ounces measure weight. 1 fl oz water = 1 oz by weight, but 1 fl oz flour weighs only 0.53 oz.
How much does a tablespoon of butter weigh?
1 tbsp butter = 14g = 0.5 oz. A standard US butter stick is 113g (4 oz) with 8 tablespoon markings.
Why are my baking measurements inconsistent?
Scooping flour packs it down, giving 20% more than spooning. Spoon flour into cup and level off, or use a kitchen scale.
