Why Cooking Measurements Are Confusing
The United States uses volume cups and tablespoons for most recipes. The rest of the world uses weight in grams. Neither system is wrong. But they don't convert with a simple formula.
One cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams. One cup of granulated sugar weighs 200 grams. One cup of honey weighs 340 grams. The cup is the same size each time. The ingredient is different. That's why you can't just multiply by one number.
Baking is the place where this matters most. Too much flour by even 20 grams can make a cake dense. Too little sugar by 30 grams changes how a cookie spreads. Professional bakers in Europe weigh every ingredient. Home bakers in the US measure by volume. This site bridges that gap.
What Each Tool Does
Cups to Grams
Cups to Grams converts any cup amount into the exact gram weight for over 30 baking ingredients. Flour, sugar, butter, honey, oats, cocoa powder, brown sugar, powdered sugar, almond flour, and more. Pick your ingredient, enter your cup amount, see the grams instantly.
Grams to Cups
Grams to Cups works the reverse. Enter grams, pick your ingredient, get the cup amount. Useful when a recipe gives weights but you don't have a kitchen scale.
Tablespoons in a Cup
Tablespoons in a Cup gives you the full conversion chart for every cup fraction. Plus a quick converter for any tablespoon or teaspoon amount. 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, 2/3 cup, 3/4 cup. All covered.
Temperature Converter
Temperature Converter converts between Fahrenheit, Celsius, and gas mark. Every standard baking temperature included in the quick-reference table below the converter.
Recipe Scaler
Recipe Scaler multiplies every ingredient in a recipe by your desired serving count. Enter the original servings, your target servings, and each ingredient. The scaler adjusts every amount automatically.
Butter Converter
Butter Converter converts between sticks, cups, tablespoons, grams, and ounces. Includes a full quick-reference chart for the most common butter amounts.
How Accurate Are These Conversions?
The gram weights in this tool are based on the King Arthur Baking weight chart, which is the most widely cited professional standard for baking measurements in the United States. All-purpose flour weights are based on the spoon-and-level method: spoon flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge. Do not scoop directly from the bag. Scooping packs the flour and can add 20 to 30 grams per cup.
Volume-to-volume conversions (cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters) are exact. 1 US cup equals exactly 236.588 milliliters. 1 tablespoon equals exactly 14.787 milliliters. These numbers do not vary by ingredient.
Temperature conversions use the standard formula: Celsius equals Fahrenheit minus 32 multiplied by 5/9. Gas mark conversions use the official UK gas mark scale.
US Cups vs. Metric Cups
One thing worth knowing: US cups and metric cups are not the same. A US cup holds 236.59 milliliters. An Australian or Canadian metric cup holds 250 milliliters. That is about 5.5 percent more.
If you are baking from a US recipe and you live in Australia or Canada, use a US cup measure or reduce your metric cup measurements slightly. For small amounts the difference is minimal. For a full batch of bread or pastry it can add up.
All conversions on this site use the US cup standard.

Cooking Conversion FAQ
How many tablespoons are in a cup?+
There are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup. One cup also equals 48 teaspoons, 8 fluid ounces, and 236.59 milliliters. For common fractions, 1/2 cup equals 8 tablespoons, 1/4 cup equals 4 tablespoons, and 1/3 cup equals 5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon. These measurements are the same whether you are measuring a liquid or a dry ingredient by volume.
How many grams is a cup of flour?+
One cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams when measured using the spoon-and-level method. Bread flour is slightly heavier at 127 grams per cup. Cake flour is lighter at 100 grams per cup. Whole wheat flour weighs 120 grams per cup. These values assume you spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off — scooping directly from the bag packs the flour and can add 20 to 30 extra grams per cup.
What is 350 degrees Fahrenheit in Celsius?+
350 degrees Fahrenheit equals 176.67 degrees Celsius, which most recipes round to 175C or 180C. On a gas oven, 350F corresponds to Gas Mark 4. This is the most common baking temperature and is used for standard cakes, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, and most everyday baked goods.
How many cups is 250 grams?+
250 grams equals different cup amounts depending on the ingredient. For all-purpose flour, 250 grams equals 2 cups. For granulated sugar, 250 grams equals 1.25 cups or 1 cup plus 4 tablespoons. For butter, 250 grams equals approximately 1.1 cups or just over 2 sticks. Cups measure volume, not weight, so the gram equivalent always depends on the ingredient's density.
How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon?+
There are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon. This is one of the most used conversions in cooking. One tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons, 1/16 of a cup, and approximately 14.79 milliliters. When a recipe calls for 1 tablespoon and you only have a teaspoon measure, use 3 level teaspoons to get the exact same amount.
How do I scale a recipe for more or fewer servings?+
To scale a recipe, divide the desired servings by the original servings to get your scaling factor, then multiply every ingredient amount by that factor. For example, to double a recipe for 4 that serves 8, your scaling factor is 2 and every ingredient amount doubles. For odd measurements like 3 eggs, round to the nearest whole egg or use a partial egg for precision. The recipe scaler on this site handles all the math automatically for any number of servings.
Does it matter which cup size I use for cooking measurements?+
Yes. US recipes use a standard cup of 236.59 milliliters. Metric cups used in Australia, Canada, and some other countries equal 250 milliliters, which is about 5 percent larger. If you are following a US recipe with an Australian cup measure, your ingredient amounts will be slightly higher than intended. The difference is small enough not to matter for most savory cooking but can affect baking results where precision is important.
