How Much Is 136 Tablespoons of Baking Powder in Ounces?
136 tablespoons of baking powder weighs 68.96 oz. This is based on baking powder having a density of 230g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 136 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 136 tablespoons of baking powder
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder = 14.38g
- 136 × 14.38 = 1,955g
- Convert grams to ounces: 1,955 ÷ 28.3495 = 68.96 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Leavener measurements are critical because even small differences affect rise and texture. When possible, weigh baking powder rather than relying on volume.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?

An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
