Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.25 cups of margarine
- 1 cup of margarine = 227g
- 0.25 × 227 = 56.75g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Tub margarine should be spooned into the measuring cup and leveled off. It is softer than stick margarine and packs differently.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
A cup is a US customary unit of volume equal to 236.588 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces. It is the most common volume measurement in American recipes. One cup can be divided into 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
