Convert recipe units with ingredient-aware weight/volume conversions for accurate baking.
Recipe unit conversion translates cooking measurements between volume units (cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, milliliters) and weight (grams). Because ingredients have different densities, a cup of flour weighs 120g while a cup of sugar weighs 200g.
| Ingredient | 1 cup | 1 tbsp |
|---|---|---|
| All-Purpose Flour | 120g | 8g |
| Bread Flour | 130g | 8g |
| Brown Sugar (packed) | 220g | 14g |
| Butter | 227g | 14g |
| Cake Flour | 114g | 7g |
| Cocoa Powder | 86g | 5g |
| Granulated Sugar | 200g | 12g |
| Heavy Cream | 232g | 15g |
| Honey | 340g | 21g |
| Powdered Sugar | 120g | 8g |
| Rice (uncooked) | 185g | 12g |
| Rolled Oats | 90g | 6g |
| Salt (table) | 288g | 18g |
| Water / Milk | 237g | 15g |
Formula
Grams = (Volume in ml ÷ ml per cup) × Grams per cupml per cup = 236.588 (US cup standard)
Grams per cup = ingredient-specific density (e.g., flour = 120g, sugar = 200g)
Worked Example
½ cup of all-purpose flour
Did you know? A cup of honey (340g) weighs nearly 3× as much as a cup of flour (120g): this is why volume-to-weight conversions are ingredient-specific and not interchangeable.
