Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 114g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 0.85 ounces of cake flour
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 0.85 × 28.35 = 24.10g
  3. 1 cup of cake flour = 114g
  4. 24.10g ÷ 114g/cup = 0.21 cups × 16 = 3.38 tablespoons

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

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

What is a Tablespoon?

One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 3.38 tbsp, based on cake flour having a density of 114g 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 114 (grams per cup), then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 0.85 ounces: 0.85 × 28.3495 = 24.10g, then 24.10 ÷ 114 = 0.21 cups × 16 = 3.38 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh cake flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring spoon and level it off, you will get about 114 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 125.4 to 142.5 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 3.38 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.211378 cups, then 0.211378 × 114g/cup = 24.10g, then 24.10g ÷ 28.3495 = 0.85 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
