cups to grams
How do you convert cups to grams?
Because cups measure spatial volume and grams measure physical mass, there is no single conversion multiplier. You must convert based on the specific density of the baking ingredient. For example, 1 cup of sifted all-purpose flour weighs approximately 120 grams, while 1 cup of granulated white sugar weighs exactly 200 grams, and 1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar weighs 220 grams. Precise weights prevent dry, heavy, or flat baked goods.
