Converting 420 Grams to Cups

When converting 420 grams to cups, the result varies significantly based on the ingredient's density. Here's how the most common ingredients compare:

All-Purpose Flour

3⅜ cups

3 cups + 5 tablespoons + 2¼ teaspoons

Almond Flour

4⅜ cups

4 cups + 6 tablespoons

Granulated Sugar

2⅛ cups

2 cups + 1 tablespoon + 1¾ teaspoons

Brown Sugar (Packed)

1⅞ cups

1 cup + 14 tablespoons + 1¾ teaspoons

Powdered Sugar

3½ cups

3 cups + 8 tablespoons

Honey

1¼ cups

1 cup + 3 tablespoons + 2¼ teaspoons

Why the Difference?

The reason 420g of flour isn't the same volume as 420g 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.
