Frequently Asked Questions

How many cups is 500 grams of flour?

500 grams of all-purpose flour = 4 cups (500g ÷ 125g per cup). Bread flour: 3.85 cups. Cake flour: 5 cups. Weights vary by flour type.

How many cups is 200 grams of sugar?

200 grams of granulated sugar = 1 cup exactly. Brown sugar (packed): 200g = 0.91 cups. Powdered sugar: 200g = 1.67 cups.

How many cups is 100 grams of butter?

100 grams of butter = 0.44 cups (about 7 tablespoons). 1 standard US stick of butter = 113g = ½ cup.

How do I convert grams to cups without a calculator?

Divide the gram weight by the grams-per-cup value for your ingredient. Example: 250g flour ÷ 125g/cup = 2 cups. See the full table above for quick reference.

Why Does Weight Vary by Ingredient?

Volume measurements (cups, tablespoons, teaspoons) measure the space an ingredient takes up, not its weight. Different ingredients have different densities — flour is fluffy while sugar is compact, butter is fatty, and oils are lighter than water.

That's why 1 cup of all-purpose flour = 125g, but 1 cup of granulated sugar = 200g. For precision baking, use a kitchen scale with gram weights for consistent results. Data source: USDA FoodData Central.
