Formula
Cups to grams isn’t a one-size-fits-all conversion — cups measure volume, grams measure weight, so the number you get depends entirely on what’s in the cup.
- Formula: Grams = Cups × Ingredient Weight (per cup, in g)
- For water: 1 cup ≈ 240g
- Flour, sugar, butter — each sits differently in a cup and weighs its own amount, so don’t expect the same number twice.
Want grams from cups? Multiply your cup amount by that ingredient’s weight per cup. Going the other way? Divide the grams by the same number.
Take 2 cups of water — multiply by 240 and you’re at roughly 480g. Now swap in flour instead, and you’d land closer to 250g for those same 2 cups.
