Converting 260 Grams to Cups

When converting 260 grams to cups, the result varies significantly based on the ingredient's density. Here's how the most common ingredients compare:

All-Purpose Flour

2⅛ cups

2 cups + 1 tablespoon + ¾ teaspoon

Almond Flour

2¾ cups

2 cups + 11 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon

Granulated Sugar

1⅓ cups

1 cup + 4 tablespoons + 2½ teaspoons

Brown Sugar (Packed)

1⅛ cups

1 cup + 2 tablespoons + 2¾ teaspoons

Powdered Sugar

2⅛ cups

2 cups + 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons

Honey

¾ cup

12 tablespoons + ¾ teaspoon

Why the Difference?

The reason 260g of flour isn't the same volume as 260g 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.
