Understanding the Units

What is a Teaspoon?

One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.

What is a Gram?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 100.01 g, based on cake flour having a density of 114g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 2.38 (grams per teaspoon for cake flour). For 42.11 teaspoons: 42.11 × 2.38 = 100.01 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh cake 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 114 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 125.4 to 142.5 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 100.01 g ÷ 2.38 = 42.11 teaspoons. Or use the Grams to Teaspoons converter.
