Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 120g/cup = grams
  1. Start with 0.21 cups of self-rising flour
  2. 1 cup of self-rising flour = 120g
  3. 0.21 × 120 = 25.2g

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

Measuring Tip

For the most consistent results, weigh self-rising flour on a kitchen scale. Volume measurements can vary by 20-30% depending on how the flour is scooped.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 25.20 g, based on self-rising flour having a density of 120g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 120 (grams per cup for self-rising flour). For 0.21 cups: 0.21 × 120 = 25.20 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh self-rising flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring cup and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off, you will get about 120 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 132 to 150 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 25.20 g ÷ 120 = 0.21 cups. Or use the Grams to Cups converter.
