Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 114g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 125.16 grams of cake flour
  2. 1 cup of cake flour = 114g
  3. 125.16g ÷ 114g/cup = 1.10 cups

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.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 1.10 cups, based on cake flour having a density of 114g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 114 (grams per cup) to get cups. For 125.16 grams: 125.16 ÷ 114 = 1.10 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh cake 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 114 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 125.4 to 142.5 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 1.10 cups × 114g/cup = 125.16g. Or use the Cups to Grams converter.
