How Much Is 11.99 Cups of Molasses in Grams?
11.99 cups of molasses weighs 4,076.60 g. This is based on molasses having a density of 340g per cup. Because cups measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 11.99 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 11.99 cups of molasses
- 1 cup of molasses = 340g
- 11.99 × 340 = 4,076.6g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sticky liquids like molasses are easier to measure if you lightly oil the measuring cup first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.

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?
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.
