How Much Is 15.31 Grams of Butter in Cups?
15.31 grams of butter equals 0.07 cups. Butter has a density of 227g per cup. Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 15.31 grams of butter
- 1 cup of butter = 227g
- 15.31g ÷ 227g/cup = 0.07 cups

Measuring Tip
Cold butter straight from the fridge is hardest to measure by volume. Cut it into tablespoon-sized pieces using the wrapper markings for accuracy.
