How Much Is 21.33 Grams of Baking Powder in Teaspoons?
21.33 grams of baking powder equals 4.45 tsp. Baking powder has a density of 230g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 21.33 grams of baking powder
- 1 cup of baking powder = 230g
- 21.33g ÷ 230g/cup = 0.09 cups × 48 = 4.45 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Leavener measurements are critical because even small differences affect rise and texture. When possible, weigh baking powder rather than relying on volume.
