Formula and Step-by-Step

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

Start with 6 teaspoons of cake flour
1 teaspoon of cake flour = 2.38g
6 × 2.38 = 14.25g
Convert grams to ounces: 14.25 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.50 oz

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

Understanding the Units

What is a Teaspoon?

A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.

What is an Ounce?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many ounces is 6 teaspoons of cake flour? expand_more

About 0.50 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.
