Converting 100 Grams to Cups
When converting 100 grams to cups, the result varies significantly based on the ingredient's density. Here's how the most common ingredients compare:
All-Purpose Flour
¾ cup
12 tablespoons + 2½ teaspoons
Almond Flour
1 cup
1 cup + 2 teaspoons
Granulated Sugar
½ cup
8 tablespoons
Brown Sugar (Packed)
½ cup
7 tablespoons + ¾ teaspoon
Powdered Sugar
⅞ cup
13 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon
Honey
⅓ cup
4 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons
Why the Difference?
The reason 100g of flour isn't the same volume as 100g of sugar comes down to density. Flour is light and fluffy, with air trapped between particles, so a cup of flour weighs less. Sugar crystals pack together more densely, making a cup of sugar heavier.
