How to convert cups of flour to grams
Cups of flour and grams measure the same ingredient by volume and weight respectively — but they are not interchangeable without conversion because flour is compressible. One US cup of all-purpose flour weighs approximately 125 grams (spooned and leveled method).
Multiply cups by 125 to get grams. Formula: g = cups × 125. 2 cups flour = 250 g. 3.5 cups = 437.5 g. This factor assumes all-purpose flour; bread flour and cake flour differ slightly.
American baking recipes use cups; European and professional recipes use grams. Weighing flour in grams produces more consistent results because cup volume varies with packing density.
Tip: 1 cup = 125 g, ½ cup = 62.5 g, ¼ cup = 31.25 g. For 500 g flour, you need 4 cups.
