Converting 400 Grams to Cups

When converting 400grams 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

Almond Flour

4⅛ cups

4 cups + 3 tablespoons

Granulated Sugar

2 cups

Brown Sugar (Packed)

1⅞ cups

1 cup + 13 tablespoons

Powdered Sugar

3⅓ cups

3 cups + 5 tablespoons

Honey

1⅛ cups

1 cup + 3 tablespoons

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.
