Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 114g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 79.38 ounces of cake flour
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 79.38 × 28.35 = 2,250.39g
  3. 1 cup of cake flour = 114g
  4. 2,250.39g ÷ 114g/cup = 19.74 cups × 16 = 315.84 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 315.84 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 79.38 ounces: 79.38 × 28.3495 = 2,250.39g, then 2,250.39 ÷ 114 = 19.74 cups × 16 = 315.84 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: 315.84 tbsp ÷ 16 = 19.7402 cups, then 19.7402 × 114g/cup = 2,250.39g, then 2,250.39g ÷ 28.3495 = 79.38 ounces. Or use the Tablespoons to Ounces converter.
