Converting 400 Grams to Cups

When converting 400 grams to cups, the result varies significantly based on the ingredient's density. Here's how the most common ingredients compare:

All-Purpose Flour

3¼ cups

3 cups + 3 tablespoons + ½ teaspoon

Almond Flour

4⅛ cups

4 cups + 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons

Granulated Sugar

2 cups

Brown Sugar (Packed)

1⅞ cups

1 cup + 13 tablespoons + ¼ teaspoon

Powdered Sugar

3⅓ cups

3 cups + 5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon

Honey

1⅛ cups

1 cup + 2 tablespoons + 2½ teaspoons

Why the Difference?

The reason 400g of flour isn't the same volume as 400g 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.
