A conversion calculator should always be carried around with you. When following recipe measurements, it is simple to convert grams to cups using the conversion calculator. It's always more accurate to measure your ingredients in grams and milliliters while baking.

Although you could be measuring your components in a typical cup, keep in mind that certain ingredients weigh differently. One cup of flour and one cup of sugar will weigh differently.

In actuality, the weight of 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 cup of all-purpose flour will differ. In contrast to water and milk, butter and honey should be measured in grams to cups. Similar to how it makes sense to measure buttermilk in milliliters and curd in grams.

Why is it difficult to convert from grams to cups?

Similar to the conversion from grams to cups, converting between grams and ounces is simple. No matter what, one ounce is always 28.35 grams. The conversion from cups to milliliters is very simple because one cup is always equal to 236.6 ml. These transformations are transparent and honest; they never try to conceal anything or trick you. This is so that we may convert between weight and capacity, two units of the same measurement. It doesn't matter because ounces and kilograms are technically mass units rather than weight when describing the ingredients in a cookery recipe.

When you have to translate from weight to gram capacity to cups, things get tricky. Nothing is simple this time around. A cup of water weighs 0.522 pounds, whereas a cup of cake flour weighs only 0.20 pounds, almost a threefold reduction.

Official measure of US cap.

The official volume of a US cup is 236.588 ml, however most cups sold in stores, including the one I used in my calculator, assume it to be 240 ml. However, some cup manufacturers sell 250ml cups (while keeping a half cup at 120ml!).

As long as you are aware of which ones you possess, this isn't a major issue. The fact that not all cups sold are quite accurate is a bigger issue.

I have two sets of measuring cups, but neither one holds the recommended quantity. Don't worry, I've modified everything here to make sure it's accurate for a properly-sized cup. In one set, my 14 cup holds 65 ml when it should be 60 ml. The full cup barely holds 225 ml when it should be 240 ml.
