A cup is a measure of volume; a gram is a measure of weight. Because ingredients have different densities, one cup of feathery flour weighs about 120 grams while one cup of honey weighs closer to 340. That’s why serious bakers weigh their ingredients — it’s far more accurate than scooping, where packing the cup differently can change the amount by 20% or more.
| Ingredient | Grams per cup |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 120 g |
| Granulated sugar | 200 g |
| Brown sugar (packed) | 213 g |
| Butter | 227 g |
| Honey | 340 g |
| Cocoa powder | 85 g |
| Rolled oats | 90 g |

They’re careful averages based on standard ingredient densities. Brands and how you pack the cup vary slightly, but for home baking these figures are reliable.
About 120 grams for all-purpose flour when spooned and leveled. Scooping straight from the bag packs it tighter and can push it to 140 g or more.
Yes — just choose grams as the unit you’re measuring in, and the cups and tablespoons update automatically.
