As someone who receives countless questions from bakers across the globe, I know how frustrating it can be to figure out how many grams are in a cup of flour or how to convert tablespoons into milliliters. That’s why I created this comprehensive baking conversion chart blog to make life in the kitchen a whole lot easier!
This guide is designed to address the most common conversion questions I’ve received over the years. Whether you’re baking with whole wheat flour, working with precise grams and ounces, or increasing the amount of a recipe for a larger group, these charts and tips will help you bake with confidence!
Converting liquid ingredients accurately is essential for the perfect bake. From milk and whipping cream to oil, water, yogurt, and sour cream, these conversions ensure that your recipes turn out just right—whether you’re measuring in cups, teaspoons, or milliliters.
Dry ingredients like flour, sugar, and baking powder can vary based on how they’re packed. For example, 1 cup of flour in grams is typically 125g, but sifting or packing the flour changes its weight.

In baking, precision is everything. Grams are the most accurate unit for dry ingredients because they leave little room for error, while milliliters are ideal for liquids. If you’re accustomed to using measuring cups, try investing in a kitchen scale for better accuracy—it will save time and ensure consistent results.
One cup of all-purpose flour weighs approximately 125 grams. For whole wheat flour, the weight is about 120 grams.
One cup of granulated sugar weighs 200 grams, while one cup of brown sugar (packed) weighs 220 grams.
To convert cups to milliliters, multiply the cup measurement by 240. For example, 1/4 cup equals 60 ml, and 1 cup equals 240 ml.
Converting measurements is one of the most essential skills in baking. With this comprehensive guide, you’ll never have to guess how many grams are in a cup of flour or how to measure liquid ingredients accurately. Bookmark this page and make precision your secret ingredient for every baking recipe!
