Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 340g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 35.42 grams of molasses
  2. 1 cup of molasses = 340g
  3. 35.42g ÷ 340g/cup = 0.10 cups × 16 = 1.67 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring spoon on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

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 Tablespoon?

A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 1.67 tbsp, based on molasses having a density of 340g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 340 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 35.42 grams: 35.42 ÷ 340 = 0.10 cups × 16 = 1.67 tbsp.
Weighing molasses on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. It is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring vessels. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the measuring spoon first so it slides out cleanly.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of molasses changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 1.67 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.104176 cups, then 0.104176 × 340g/cup = 35.42g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
