Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 144g/cup × 48 = teaspoons
  1. Start with 50.04 grams of cream of tartar
  2. 1 cup of cream of tartar = 144g
  3. 50.04g ÷ 144g/cup = 0.35 cups × 48 = 16.68 teaspoons

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

Measuring Tip

Cream of tartar can clump or settle during storage. Stir or sift before measuring by volume for consistent results.

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?

In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 16.68 tsp, based on cream of tartar having a density of 144g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 144 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 48 to get teaspoons. For 50.04 grams: 50.04 ÷ 144 = 0.35 cups × 48 = 16.68 tsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh cream of tartar 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.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 16.68 tsp ÷ 48 = 0.3475 cups, then 0.3475 × 144g/cup = 50.04g. Or use the Teaspoons to Grams converter.
