How to use this chart
The volume table is universal — 1/2 cup is 8 tablespoons whether it holds milk or flour, because those are all volume units. The ingredient weights table is the one that changes per ingredient: it gives the weight in grams of one level US cup, using the same verified densities as our cups to grams converter (which covers 80+ ingredients and every fraction of a cup, both directions). For brown sugar that means packed into the cup; for flour, spooned in and leveled — scooping straight from the bag compacts flour by up to 30%, which is why serious bakers weigh instead.
Halving a recipe and stuck on half of 3/4 cup? That is its own chart: the recipe halving chart. Scaling the whole ingredient list, use the recipe scaler; converting an oven recipe for the air fryer, the air fryer converter. The butter rows come from the butter converter, which also handles odd amounts like 1 1/2 sticks in grams, and the temperature rows from the oven temperature converter.

Frequently asked questions
How many tablespoons are in a cup?
There are 16 US tablespoons in a cup, and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon (48 teaspoons per cup). So 3/4 cup is 12 tablespoons, 1/2 cup is 8, and 1/4 cup is 4. The awkward ones are the thirds: 1/3 cup is 5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon and 2/3 cup is 10 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons.
How many mL are in a cup?
A US cup is 236.588 mL — 237 mL in practice, and US nutrition labels round it to 240 mL. The metric cup used in the UK, Australia and New Zealand is 250 mL, about 5% bigger, which matters over several cups.
Why is a cup of flour 120 g but a cup of honey 340 g?
Because a cup measures volume, not weight, and every ingredient has a different density. That is why the ingredient table on this chart lists a separate gram weight per cup for each ingredient — one cups-to-grams number for all ingredients does not exist.
How do I print this chart?
Click the Print button at the top (or press Ctrl+P / Cmd+P). The page is print-optimized: the site header, footer and everything below the chart are stripped automatically, and the tables flow into two columns so the whole chart fits on one portrait page in plain black and white.
Is this chart free to print and share?
Yes — print it for your kitchen, classroom, cookbook club or commercial kitchen, and share copies freely. If you republish it online, please credit ExactCup with a link; the underlying ingredient-density data is open under CC BY 4.0.
Are these US or UK measurements?
The cups, tablespoons and fluid ounces are US customary (UK and US tablespoons are both 15 mL, but the Australian tablespoon is 20 mL). For UK cooks the chart includes gas marks in the oven table and grams everywhere; note the UK/Australian metric cup is 250 mL rather than the US 237 mL.
