How Many Cups Is 150 Grams?
150 g of granulated sugar = exactly ¾ cup.
150 g of flour ≈ 1 cup + 3 tbsp · 150 g of butter ≈ ⅔ cup. Full ingredient-by-ingredient table below.
150 grams is a common weight in everyday baking — a generous portion of sugar, a bit over a cup of flour, or most of a stick-and-a-half of butter. The most useful shortcut: granulated sugar hits exactly ¾ cup at 150 g, because the US standard is 200 g per cup and 150 is precisely three-quarters of 200.
150g to Cups by Ingredient
| Ingredient | 150 g = | Cup Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 1.20 cups | 1 cup + 3 tbsp |
| Bread flour | 1.18 cups | 1 cup + 3 tbsp |
| Cake flour | 1.32 cups | 1 cup + 5 tbsp |
| Whole wheat flour | 1.15 cups | 1 cup + 2 tbsp |
| Almond flour | 1.56 cups | 1½ cup + 1 tbsp |
| Granulated sugar | 0.75 cup | Exactly ¾ cup |
| Brown sugar (packed) | 0.68 cup | 10 tbsp + 2 tsp |
| Powdered sugar | 1.25 cups | 1¼ cups |
| Butter | 0.66 cup | ⅔ cup (10 tbsp + 2 tsp) |
| Olive oil | 0.69 cup | 11 tablespoons |
| Cocoa powder | 1.76 cups | 1¾ cups |
| Rolled oats | 1.67 cups | 1⅔ cups |
| Cornstarch | 1.17 cups | 1 cup + 2¾ tbsp |
| Chocolate chips | 0.88 cup | ¾ cup + 2 tbsp |
| Peanut butter | 0.58 cup | ½ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 tsp |
| Honey | 0.44 cup | 7 tablespoons |
| Maple syrup | 0.48 cup | 7 tbsp + 2 tsp |
| Milk (whole) | 0.61 cup | ½ cup + 2 tbsp |
Values use the spoon-and-level method. 1 US cup = 16 tablespoons.
The Sugar Math: Why ¾ Cup Lands Exactly
Granulated sugar has one of the most predictable densities in baking: 200 g per US cup. Multiply 200 by ¾ and you get 150 exactly. No approximation, no rounding. This is why many recipes written by weight translate so cleanly for sugar — the density is stable and well-defined.
Flour vs. Sugar: How Far Apart They Are
Both flour and sugar look similar in a measuring cup, but at 150 g their volumes are completely different: flour fills 1.20 cups while sugar fills only 0.75 cup. That is because flour (125 g/cup) is much lighter than sugar (200 g/cup) — flour is a loose, airy powder while sugar is dense, heavy granules. Always look up the ingredient, never assume the cup amount transfers between them.

FAQ
Is 150g of sugar exactly ¾ cup?
Yes. Granulated sugar is 200 g per cup, so 150 g = 150/200 = 0.75 cup = exactly ¾ cup. This is one of the cleanest conversions in baking — no rounding needed. Brown sugar packed is slightly less (0.68 cup), and powdered sugar is more (1.25 cups), but granulated lands perfectly at ¾ cup.
How many cups is 150g of flour?
150 g of all-purpose flour is 1.20 cups — 1 cup plus about 3 tablespoons. Flour weighs 125 g per cup, so 150 g is 20% more than one cup. Cake flour is lighter (1.32 cups for 150 g) and whole wheat flour is slightly denser (1.15 cups).
How many cups is 150g of butter?
About 0.66 cup — just under ⅔ cup (10 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons). Butter is 227 g per cup, so 150 g takes up about two-thirds of a measuring cup. In US stick terms, 150 g is about 1 stick plus 3 tablespoons.
How many cups is 150g of oats?
About 1.67 cups — 1⅔ cups. Rolled oats weigh about 90 g per cup, so 150 g fills 1 cup plus about 11 tablespoons (close to ⅔ of a second cup). For granola or cookie recipes calling for 150 g of oats, measure 1⅔ cups.
How many tablespoons is 150 grams?
Multiply the cup value by 16. Sugar (0.75 cup) = 12 tablespoons = ¾ cup exactly. Flour (1.20 cup) = 19.2 tablespoons ≈ 19 tbsp + 1 tsp. Butter (0.66 cup) = 10 tbsp + 2 tsp. Cocoa (1.76 cup) = 28 tablespoons.
150g vs 1 cup — which is more flour?
150 g is more flour than 1 cup. 1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 g; 150 g equals 1 cup plus about 3 tablespoons. If a recipe calls for 150 g and you use 1 cup, you will be 25 g short — enough to make cookies flat or a cake too tender.
