Recipe in grams
554 g total
- 240 g All-Purpose Flour
- 114 g Butter (Unsalted)
- 100 g Granulated Sugar
- 100 g Chicken Egg (Large, Whole)
Each ingredient uses its own weight per cup (flour 120 g, sugar 200 g, butter 227 g, and so on), measured by spooning and leveling. Your results will be closest if you measure the same way. Don't see an ingredient? It isn't in our density list yet, so weigh it, or check the package for grams per serving.
How to use this calculator
- 1Pick each ingredient from the list.
- 2Enter the amount and the unit the recipe uses (cups, spoons, sticks as tablespoons, items).
- 3Each row shows its weight in grams; the total is shown below.
- 4Tap "Copy list in grams" to save your converted recipe.
Tip: Converting a favorite recipe to grams once means you can weigh it straight into the bowl every time after.
How it's calculated
Normalizes each ingredient using verified ingredient density reference data.
We do the math at full precision and only round the final answer, so the numbers you see are as close as kitchen measurements allow. The assumptions and limits are listed alongside.
Worked example
Scenario: Normalizing a recipe with 2 cups flour, 1 stick butter, and 1/2 cup sugar into grams.
Inputs2 cups flour, 1 stick butter, 0.5 cup sugar
CalculationFlour: 240g; Butter: 113.4g; Sugar: 100g
ResultTotal mass: 453.4g with exact ingredient weights
Common questions
Why is normalizing to grams preferred for baking?
A gram is always a gram, while a cup of flour can vary by 20% depending on how you fill it. Weighing gives you the same result every time, and fewer dishes to wash.
