MEASURING CUPS TO GRAMS (MASTER 🍰 BAKING TIP – MEASURING CUPS TO GRAMS (MASTER YOUR MEASUREMENTS!) 🍰
If you really want to level up your baking, you need to stop guessing and start measuring accurately 💯
👉 Cups are common… but grams are more precise
👉 The same cup can give different results depending on how you scoop!
Let’s break it down 👇
📏 COMMON CUP TO GRAM CONVERSIONS
🥣 FLOUR (All-purpose)
• 1 cup = 120–125g
• ½ cup = 60g
• ¼ cup = 30g
⚠️ Too much flour = dry, hard cake
SUGAR (Granulated)
• 1 cup = 200g
• ½ cup = 100g
• ¼ cup = 50g
🍯 BROWN SUGAR (Packed)
• 1 cup = 220g
• ½ cup = 110g
👉 Always pack it down firmly!
🧈 BUTTER
• 1 cup = 227g
• ½ cup = 113g
• ¼ cup = 57g
🥛 MILK / LIQUIDS
• 1 cup = 240ml (≈240g)
• ½ cup = 120ml
🥄 COCOA POWDER
• 1 cup = 85–100g
👉 Depends on how compact it is!
🥄 POWDERED SUGAR (ICING SUGAR)
• 1 cup = 120g
