Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 238g/cup = cups

Start with 1 ounce of heavy cream
Convert ounces to grams: 1 × 28.35 = 28.35g
1 cup of heavy cream = 238g
28.35g ÷ 238g/cup = 0.12 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.
