|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All-Purpose Flour | 140 g | 70 g | 47 g | 35 g | 8.4 g |
| Granulated Sugar | 212 g | 106 g | 71 g | 53 g | 12.7 g |
| Powdered Sugar | 140 g | 70 g | 47 g | 35 g | 8.4 g |
| Butter (Solid) | 240 g | 120 g | 80 g | 60 g | 14.4 g |

Why should I weigh baking ingredients in grams instead of using cups?
Volume measurements like cups can vary significantly depending on how tightly packed an ingredient is. A single cup of scooped flour can weigh anywhere from 120 g to 150 g, which drastically alters your recipe’s hydration, structure, and crumb. Weighing in grams with this Baking Unit Converter ensures exact precision and consistent results every single time.
How many grams is 1 cup of all-purpose flour?
On average, 1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs 120 grams when properly sifted or fluffed using the spoon-and-level method. Scooping directly from a dense flour bag will compact the flour, leading to overly dry baked goods.
Is 1 cup of flour equal to 1 cup of sugar in grams?
No. Ingredients have vastly different densities. While 1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs approximately 120 grams, 1 cup of granulated sugar weighs roughly 200 grams, and 1 cup of liquid (water or milk) weighs 240 grams.
How do I convert volume measurements for liquids vs. dry ingredients?
Liquids like water, milk, and eggs follow a standard volume-to-weight ratio (1 ml = 1 gram). However, dry ingredients like cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or flour must be converted based on their specific ingredient density using a dedicated Baking Unit Converter.
