How many grams are in 1 cup of flour?

One US cup of all-purpose flour weighs approximately 125 grams when properly measured using the spoon-and-level method. However, this can vary by flour type: bread flour is about 130g per cup, while cake flour is about 115g per cup.

What's the difference between US cups and UK cups?

US cups (236.588 mL) are smaller than UK metric cups (250 mL) and significantly smaller than old UK imperial cups (284 mL). This 20% difference between US and Imperial cups can dramatically affect your baking results.

Why should I weigh ingredients instead of using cups?

Weighing ingredients is more accurate and consistent than volume measurements. How you scoop flour into a cup can result in 20-30% variation in the actual amount. Professional bakers always weigh ingredients because it ensures consistent results every time.

How do I convert tablespoons to grams?

Converting tablespoons to grams depends on the ingredient because different ingredients have different densities. For example, 1 tablespoon of flour weighs about 7.8g, while 1 tablespoon of sugar weighs about 12.5g.

Are Australian tablespoons different?

Yes! Australian tablespoons are 20 mL, while US and UK tablespoons are 15 mL. This means Australian recipes use fewer tablespoons per cup (12.5 vs 16).
