How Much Is 1.5 Cups of Self-Rising Flour in Grams?
1.5 cups of self-rising flour weighs 180.00 g. This is based on self-rising flour having a density of 120g 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 1.5 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.5 cups of self-rising flour
- 1 cup of self-rising flour = 120g
- 1.5 × 120 = 180g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Humidity affects self-rising flour weight. In humid conditions, flour absorbs moisture and weighs more per cup. Store it in an airtight container for consistent results.

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?
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.
