Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.1 cups of raisins
- 1 cup of raisins = 145g
- 1.1 × 145 = 159.5g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Chopping dried fruit before measuring gives a denser pack and higher weight per cup than whole pieces. Match the form your recipe specifies.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
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.
