Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.78 ounces of corn syrup
- Convert ounces to grams: 5.78 × 28.35 = 163.86g
- 1 cup of corn syrup = 328g

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.
