About this conversion
Cups to grams for flour is one of the most searched cooking conversions, because US recipes use cups while most of the world (and professional baking) uses grams. The widget above supports all common baking ingredients — change the ingredient to get the correct weight. For plain flour, 1 cup = 125 g. Self-raising flour is the same. Bread flour is slightly denser at 120 g. Wholemeal flour is typically 120–130 g per cup. A key tip: never scoop flour directly from the bag — this compacts it and can add 20–30% extra flour, throwing off your recipe. Spoon flour into the cup measure, level off the top, or ideally use a digital scale. For US baking recipes, multiply cup amounts by the gram value per cup listed in the table above.
