Understanding the Units

What is a Tablespoon?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

What is a Gram?

Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 128.76 g, based on all-purpose flour having a density of 125.16g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 7.82 (grams per tablespoon for all-purpose flour). For 16.46 tablespoons: 16.46 × 7.82 = 128.76 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh all-purpose 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 125.16 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 137.68 to 156.45 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 128.76 g ÷ 7.82 = 16.46 tablespoons. Or use the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
