Grams to Cups or Cups to Grams Conversions For Common Baking Ingredients
From flour to honey, precise measurement is a must. Read through our handy guides below to yield a perfect result every time.
All-Purpose Flour
Adding a little more flour than what your recipe calls for might ruin an otherwise perfect bundt. To avoid such a baking disaster, note that a cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams, provided it is accurately measured.
Bread Flour
Incorrect measurement of bread flour can result in a dry and dense baked good. Now, the most accurate way to measure this ingredient is by using a kitchen scale.
Cake Flour
This delectable pound cake will have the right consistency, provided you measure each ingredient accurately, including the cake flour. For this baking foodstuff, remember that a cup can hold 95 grams of cake flour. Meanwhile, 10 grams of cake flour is equivalent to an eighth of a cup. Refer to the conversion table for more accurate measurements.
Cornstarch (Cornflour)
Cornstarch is yet another essential baking ingredient. Thus, it should be measured with utmost precision. Although, it’s a tad bit difficult to get accurate measurements, especially if you don’t have a kitchen scale on hand. To make things easier for you, look at the table to convert grams to cups and vice versa.
Baking Powder
Most recipes call for baking powder like in this delish blueberry muffin. Though some recipes only need a small amount of this ingredient, accurate measurement is still imperative.
Granulated Sugar
Granulated sugar, or simply white sugar, has other functions in baking aside from lending off its sweetness to recipes. Sugar, along with other foodstuffs, also contributes to the structure and texture of baked goods. That said, proper measurement is also required.
