How Much Is 100 Grams of All-Purpose Flour in Cups?
100 grams of all-purpose flour equals 0.80 cups. All-purpose flour has a density of 125.16g per cup. A lighter ingredient like cocoa powder (86g/cup) would fill even more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 100 grams of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour = 125.16g
- 100g ÷ 125.16g/cup = 0.80 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Humidity affects all-purpose 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 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.
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.
