Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8.85 ounces of baking powder
- Convert ounces to grams: 8.85 × 28.35 = 250.89g
- 1 cup of baking powder = 230g
- 250.89g ÷ 230g/cup = 1.09 cups × 16 = 17.45 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
