Volume cups do not weigh the same across ingredients because density differs. A cup of flour weighs less than a cup of sugar, and butter packs differently when melted versus cubed.

CalculatorCamp baking converter uses typical ingredient densities so you can move between US cup measures and grams for more repeatable bakes, especially when following European recipes.
Scooping versus spoon-and-level flour changes cup mass; grams on a scale reduce that variability.
Choose the ingredient, enter the amount in cups or grams depending on direction, and calculate to see the equivalent mass or volume measure.
This baking converter (cups to grams) applies the standard relationship below. Intermediate values are kept at full precision; only the displayed result is rounded.
grams = cups x ingredient density (g per cup); densities vary by ingredient
Yes. US customary cup volumes unless the form notes otherwise.
Mass scales reduce error from how ingredients are packed into cups.
Select the ingredient provided in the form for its typical density.
Yes.
