Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 253g/cup = grams
  1. Start with 0.11 cups of egg yolks
  2. 1 cup of egg yolks = 253g
  3. 0.11 × 253 = 27.83g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Carton egg whites and yolks have very consistent density, making them easier to measure by volume than freshly separated eggs. If your recipe calls for a specific gram amount, carton products are the most predictable.

Understanding the Units

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

What is a Gram?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 27.83 g, based on egg yolks having a density of 253g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 253 (grams per cup for egg yolks). For 0.11 cups: 0.11 × 253 = 27.83 g.
The most accurate way is to weigh egg yolks on a kitchen scale, since individual eggs vary in size. If measuring by volume, pour into the measuring cup and read the level at eye height.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 27.83 g ÷ 253 = 0.11 cups. Or use the Grams to Cups converter.
