Cup to Gram Conversions

By: Allrecipes Staff

How much does a cup of butter weigh?

Do the Math

1 ounce = 28.34 grams

1 pound = .453 kilograms

1 g = .035 oz

1 kg = 2.2 lb

1 fluid oz = 29.57 milliliters

Measuring Spoons

1 Tablespoon = .5 fluid oz or 14.79 ml

3 tsp = 1 Tablespoon

4 Tablespoons = 1/4 cup

16 Tablespoons = 1 cup

More Quick Conversions

1 c chocolate chips = 152 g

1 c cocoa powder = 128 g

1 c walnuts, chopped
= 122 g

1 c walnut/pecan halves
= 99 g

1 c shredded coconut
= 71 g

1 c solid shortening, e.g. Crisco® = 205 g

1Tbsp baking powder
= 12 g

1 Tbsp salt = 18 g

If you know that a cup of butter weighs eight ounces, you could do the math yourself: 1 ounce = 28.34 grams, so one cup of butter weighs 227 grams.

1/4 cup of butter = 57 g
1/3 cup of butter = 76 g
1/2 cup of butter = 113 g

Thank you so much for having this. I had visitors from Europe and I had no idea what the conversion was for their recipes

Thank you Allrecipes for your conversion chart. I am visiting friends and wanted to bake a cake for them. Unfortunately their scale refused to do its job and we were stuck. Surfed the net and low and behold got our hands on the conversion from gms to cups. Now I can go ahead and put my cake in the bake. Thanks again.

Thankyou! I don't know why all recipes can't just be in cups, it's so much easier than fiddling around with scales!

This table is great, but it would be faster if the recipes were printed in grams and cups. In the States we rarely bake by weight,but rather by cups. In the meantime thanks a million.
