Cup & Gram

Grams of Flour to Cups

One US cup of all-purpose flour weighs 120 grams with the spoon-and-level method. To convert grams of all-purpose flour to cups, divide the grams by 120 — so 100 g is ⅞ cup and 120 g is exactly 1 cup.

250 g All-purpose flour = 2 ⅛ cups

Exactly 2.08 cups — or measure 2 cups + 1 tbsp.

How to measure all-purpose flour

Spoon flour into the cup with a spoon, then level the top with a straight edge — never scoop the cup into the bag. Scooping compresses flour and can pack in 20–30% more (140 g+ instead of 120 g), which is the single most common reason baked goods turn out dry. Sifted flour runs lighter still, about 110 g per cup.
