One level US cup is 16 tablespoons. The weight depends on what is in the cup.

Recipes write this as 1 1/2 cups, which is easy to misread. Half a cup (1/2 cup) is a third as much: flour 62.5 g, sugar 100 g, butter 113.5 g.

  • All-purpose flour: 125 g per cup — FDC ID 168894, “Wheat flour, white, all-purpose, enriched, bleached”, portion “1 cup”.
  • Granulated sugar: 200 g per cup — FDC ID 169655, “Sugars, granulated”, portion “1 cup”.
  • Butter: 227 g per cup — FDC ID 173430, “Butter, without salt”, portion “1 cup”.
  • Powdered sugar: 120 g per cup — FDC ID 169656, “Sugars, powdered”, portion “1 cup unsifted”.
  • Brown sugar (packed): 220 g per cup — FDC ID 168833, “Sugars, brown”, portion “1 cup packed”.
