Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 230g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 460 grams of sour cream
  2. 1 cup of sour cream = 230g
  3. 460g ÷ 230g/cup = 2 cups × 16 = 32.00 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

For the most consistent results, weigh sour cream on a kitchen scale rather than measuring by volume.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

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 32.00 tbsp, based on sour cream having a density of 230g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 230 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 460 grams: 460 ÷ 230 = 2 cups × 16 = 32.00 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh sour cream on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Fat content has a small effect on density. Higher-fat versions are slightly lighter per volume because fat is less dense than water. The difference is usually under 5%, so this conversion works well for standard varieties.
Reverse the conversion: 32.00 tbsp ÷ 16 = 2 cups, then 2 × 230g/cup = 460g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
