Converting 125 Grams to Cups

When converting 125 grams to cups, the result varies significantly based on the ingredient's density. Here's how the most common ingredients compare:

All-Purpose Flour

1 cup

Almond Flour

1⅓ cups

1 cup + 4 tablespoons + 2½ teaspoons

Granulated Sugar

⅝ cup

10 tablespoons

Brown Sugar (Packed)

⅝ cup

9 tablespoons + ¼ teaspoon

Powdered Sugar

1 cup

1 cup + 2 teaspoons

Honey

⅜ cup

5 tablespoons + 2¾ teaspoons

Why the Difference?

The reason 125g of flour isn't the same volume as 125g 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.
