How to Convert Cups of Flour to Grams
Converting cups of all-purpose flour to grams ensures accurate baking. One cup of sifted all-purpose flour equals approximately 125 grams.
To convert cups to grams, multiply by 125. For example, 2 cups x 125 = 250 grams. This assumes flour is spooned and leveled, not scooped directly.
The 'scoop and sweep' method can yield 140-150g per cup, so weighing is most accurate.
Quick Tips
- 1 mile = 1.609 km (miles are bigger)
- 1 kg = 2.205 lbs (roughly double + 10%)
- Temperature: (°F - 32) × 5/9 = °C
Frequently Asked Questions
1 cup of all-purpose flour equals approximately 120-130 grams when spooned and leveled.
Measuring method, humidity, and packing affect flour density.
Sifting before measuring gives more consistent results (lighter weight).
Bread flour is slightly heavier (~130g), cake flour lighter (~115g) per cup.
