How Much Is 1 Cup of Corn Syrup in Ounces?
1 cup of corn syrup weighs 11.57 oz. This is based on corn syrup having a density of 328g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1 cup.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 cup of corn syrup
- 1 cup of corn syrup = 328g
- 1 × 328 = 328g
- Convert grams to ounces: 328 ÷ 28.3495 = 11.57 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

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 an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
