Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 227g/cup = grams
  1. Start with 0.31 cups of margarine
  2. 1 cup of margarine = 227g
  3. 0.31 × 227 = 70.37g

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

Measuring Tip

Margarine and butter have the same weight per cup (227g) by industry convention, so they are interchangeable by volume in most recipes.

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?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 70.37 g, based on margarine having a density of 227g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 227 (grams per cup for margarine). For 0.31 cups: 0.31 × 227 = 70.37 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh margarine on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 70.37 g ÷ 227 = 0.31 cups. Or use the Grams to Cups converter.
