How Much Is 120 Tablespoons of Cake Flour in Grams?
Converting 120 tablespoons of cake flour to grams gives 855.00 g. One tablespoon of cake flour weighs 7.13g, so 120 tablespoons is 120 × 7.13 = 855g. This conversion is specific to cake flour because each ingredient has a different density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 120 tablespoons of cake flour
- 1 tablespoon of cake flour = 7.13g
- 120 × 7.13 = 855g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh cake flour on a kitchen scale. Volume measurements can vary by 20-30% depending on how the flour is scooped.

Understanding the Units
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.
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.
