Convert cups to grams and ounces.
To convert cups to grams:
The calculator returns the weight in grams based on standard density for that ingredient. Different ingredients have different weights per cup.
Conversion uses standard grams-per-cup values:
Grams = Cups × Grams per Cup
Example: Convert 2 cups of all-purpose flour.
2 × 120 = 240 gramsConvert 1.5 cups of sugar: 1.5 × 200 = 300 grams
Because cups measure volume, not weight. Flour is lighter and fluffier, so a cup of it weighs about 120g, while sugar is denser at about 200g per cup. This is why professional bakers use grams for accuracy.
Yes. How you scoop flour (sifted vs. packed) can change the weight by 20–30%. A kitchen scale eliminates this variability and gives consistent results, which is especially important in baking.
