1 Cup in Grams by Ingredient
Same cup, very different weights depending on what fills it. Values assume spoon-and-level technique (not packed, not sifted).
| Ingredient | 1 Cup = | 1/2 Cup = | 1/4 Cup = |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 125 g | 63 g | 31 g |
| Bread flour | 127 g | 64 g | 32 g |
| Cake flour | 115 g | 58 g | 29 g |
| Whole wheat flour | 130 g | 65 g | 33 g |
| Almond flour | 96 g | 48 g | 24 g |
| Granulated sugar | 200 g | 100 g | 50 g |
| Brown sugar (packed) | 220 g | 110 g | 55 g |
| Powdered sugar | 120 g | 60 g | 30 g |
| Butter | 227 g | 113 g | 57 g |
| Olive oil | 215 g | 108 g | 54 g |
| Honey | 340 g | 170 g | 85 g |
| Maple syrup | 312 g | 156 g | 78 g |
| Milk | 245 g | 123 g | 61 g |
| Cocoa powder | 90 g | 45 g | 23 g |
| Rolled oats | 90 g | 45 g | 23 g |
| Chocolate chips | 170 g | 85 g | 43 g |
| Peanut butter | 258 g | 129 g | 65 g |
Oven Temperature Conversions
| Description | °F | °C | Gas Mark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Very low / warm | 200°F | 95°C | — |
| Low | 250°F | 120°C | 1/2 |
| Cool | 275°F | 135°C | 1 |
| Slow | 300°F | 150°C | 2 |
| Moderate | 350°F | 175°C | 4 |
| Moderately hot | 375°F | 190°C | 5 |
| Hot | 400°F | 205°C | 6 |
| Very hot | 425°F | 220°C | 7 |
| Hottest | 475°F | 245°C | 9 |
For fan / convection ovens, subtract 20–25°F (~15–20°C) from the conventional value, or shorten time by about 15%.
Recipe Scaling Multipliers
To scale a recipe, multiply every ingredient by the factor below. Round flour to the nearest gram, salt and leaveners to the nearest 0.1 g for baking precision.
| From → To | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| 4 → 2 servings (halve) | × 0.5 |
| 4 → 6 servings | × 1.5 |
| 4 → 8 servings (double) | × 2 |
| 4 → 12 servings (triple) | × 3 |
| 6 → 4 servings | × 0.67 |
| 8 → 6 servings | × 0.75 |
| 8 → 12 servings | × 1.5 |
| 12 → 8 servings | × 0.67 |
Common Pan Sizes & Volumes
| Pan | Approx. Volume | Substitute |
|---|---|---|
| 9" round (23 cm) | ~1.5 L / 6 cups | 8" square |
| 9" square (23 cm) | ~2 L / 8 cups | 9×13 (halved batter) |
| 9×13 rectangular | ~3.3 L / 14 cups | Two 9" round |
| 9×5 loaf | ~2 L / 8 cups | 8×4 loaf (reduce 25%) |
| 12-cup bundt | ~2.8 L / 12 cups | 10" tube pan |
| 12-cup muffin tin | ~80 ml per cup | Mini-muffin × 24 |
Scale a Whole Recipe Automatically
Reading off a sheet works for one ingredient at a time. If you'd rather paste a recipe and get every ingredient scaled at once — with the same density data this sheet uses — try the main tool.

FAQ
Can I print this conversion sheet?
Yes. Hit Ctrl+P (Cmd+P on Mac) and the page is laid out to fit on a single sheet of standard letter or A4 paper. We don't gate it behind an email signup.
Why are gram weights for cups different for each ingredient?
A cup is a volume measure (~237 ml), not a weight. Flour, sugar, and butter each occupy the same volume but have very different densities — sugar is roughly 60% heavier than flour cup-for-cup, and honey is heavier still.
Is this sheet for US or metric cups?
All values use the US customary cup (236.588 ml). Australian and metric cups are 250 ml — about 5.6% larger. If your recipe specifies metric cups, add roughly 6% to the gram figures here.
Are these oven temperatures for fan or conventional ovens?
The temperatures listed are for conventional ovens. For fan (convection) ovens, reduce the conventional temperature by 20–25°F (or about 15–20°C), or shorten the bake time by ~15%.
What about cups to grams for liquids like milk and oil?
Liquid densities are mostly close to water, but not identical. 1 cup of water = 237 g, milk = 245 g, olive oil = 215 g, honey = 340 g. Always check the specific liquid in the table below.
