How Much Is 1.58 Grams of Baking Powder in Teaspoons?
Converting 1.58 grams of baking powder to teaspoons gives 0.33 tsp. Divide by the density of baking powder (230g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.58 grams of baking powder
- 1 cup of baking powder = 230g
- 1.58g ÷ 230g/cup = 0.0069 cups × 48 = 0.33 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Baking powder loses potency over time. If yours is more than 6 months old, test it: drop a teaspoon into hot water. If it bubbles vigorously, it is still active.

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 Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
