Measurements
Butter, Flour & Sugar Converter
Turn cups, tablespoons, sticks, and grams into the format your recipe or kitchen scale needs.
Methodology
How we calculate this
The converter uses fixed reference weights per cup for the selected staple ingredient.
The math
- Grams = amount × grams per selected unit
- Reference cups: flour 120 g, sugar 200 g, butter 227 g
- Tablespoon weight = cup weight ÷ 16
Worked example
Two cups of all-purpose flour at 120 g per cup equals 240 g.
Frequently asked questions
Helpful answers
How many grams are in a cup of all-purpose flour?
A practical baking standard is 120 grams per cup, although the weight varies with measuring technique. Weighing flour gives more repeatable results.
How many grams are in one stick of butter?
One standard US stick of butter weighs about 113 grams, or 4 ounces. Check the package when using imported butter or a differently sized block.
Why did my cake turn out dry after measuring flour by cups?
Scooping can compact flour and add much more than the recipe intended. Fluff, spoon, and level the flour, or use the recipe's gram weight.
