Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 230g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 9.58 grams of sour cream
  2. 1 cup of sour cream = 230g
  3. 9.58g ÷ 230g/cup = 0.04 cups × 16 = 0.67 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Thickness varies between brands. Full-fat, low-fat, and non-fat versions can have slightly different weights per measuring spoon.

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?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.67 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 9.58 grams: 9.58 ÷ 230 = 0.04 cups × 16 = 0.67 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: 0.67 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.0416522 cups, then 0.0416522 × 230g/cup = 9.58g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
