Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.77 ounces of heavy cream
- Convert ounces to grams: 2.77 × 28.35 = 78.53g
- 1 cup of heavy cream = 238g
- 78.53g ÷ 238g/cup = 0.33 cups × 16 = 5.28 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
