Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 2.38g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 3 teaspoons of cake flour

Convert grams to ounces: 7.13 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.25 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Frequently Asked Questions

How many ounces is 3 teaspoons of cake flour? expand_more

About 0.25 oz, 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.

What is the formula for converting teaspoons of cake flour to ounces? expand_more

How do I measure cake flour accurately? expand_more

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.

Does the measurement method affect how much cake flour weighs per cup? expand_more

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.
