Kitchen Unit Conversion & Ingredient Weight Chart
⚡ Quick Equivalencies (1 Cup in Grams):
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup = 125 g (spooned & leveled)
- Granulated white sugar: 1 cup = 200 g
- Powdered / Confectioners sugar: 1 cup = 120 g
- Butter: 1 cup (2 sticks) = 225 g
- Water & Milk: 1 cup = 240-250 ml = 240-250 g
Baking recipes from different countries use different measuring systems: US cups and spoons, European grams and milliliters, or British imperial fluid ounces. Because a cup of flour does not weigh the same as a cup of sugar, ingredient density is essential for perfect culinary results.
