Baking Conversion Calculator

Conversion depends on ingredient: 1 cup all-purpose flour = 120g, 1 cup sugar = 200g, 1 cup brown sugar = 220g (packed), 1 cup butter = 227g, 1 cup milk = 245g. Always measure flour by spooning into cup, not scooping.

Weight is more accurate. A cup of flour can vary from 120-150g depending on how its measured. Professional bakers always use weight. Invest in a kitchen scale - its the biggest improvement you can make to your baking.

1 stick butter = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons = 113g = 4 oz. 1 cup butter = 2 sticks = 227g. For European butter: similar weight but higher fat content (82% vs 80% US), so results may be slightly richer.

1 cup buttermilk = 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice. 1 egg = 1/4 cup applesauce or mashed banana (vegan). 1 cup cake flour = 1 cup AP flour minus 2 tbsp, plus 2 tbsp cornstarch. Self-rising = AP flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt per cup.
