Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 125.16g/cup ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 3.45 cups of all-purpose flour
  2. 1 cup of all-purpose flour = 125.16g
  3. 3.45 × 125.16 = 431.80g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 431.80 ÷ 28.3495 = 15.23 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 15.23 oz, based on all-purpose flour having a density of 125.16g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 125.16 (grams per cup for all-purpose flour), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 3.45 cups: 3.45 × 125.16 = 431.80g, then 431.80 ÷ 28.3495 = 15.23 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh all-purpose 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 125.16 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 137.68 to 156.45 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 15.23 oz × 28.3495 = 431.80g, then 431.80g ÷ 125.16 = 3.45 cups. Or use the Ounces to Cups converter.
