Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.96 ounces of molasses
- Convert ounces to grams: 0.96 × 28.35 = 27.22g
- 1 cup of molasses = 340g

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

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.
