Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 245g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 12.52 ounces of buttermilk
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 12.52 × 28.35 = 354.94g
  3. 1 cup of buttermilk = 245g
  4. 354.94g ÷ 245g/cup = 1.45 cups

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

Measuring Tip

Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 1.45 cups, based on buttermilk having a density of 245g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 245 (grams per cup). For 12.52 ounces: 12.52 × 28.3495 = 354.94g, then 354.94 ÷ 245 = 1.45 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh buttermilk on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of buttermilk changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 1.45 cups × 245g/cup = 354.94g, then 354.94g ÷ 28.3495 = 12.52 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
