One US cup, filled level (dry ingredients spooned in); weights from USDA FoodData Central where it has one, reviewed August 15, 2026. How we calculate
50 g by ingredient
Why 50 g isn’t one cup amount
Grams measure weight and cups measure volume, so the answer depends on the ingredient. Flour is light and holds air, so 50 g of it fills more cups than 50 g of sugar, whose crystals pack tightly. Only water and water-like liquids are 50 ml for 50 g.
No scale? Spoon flour and sugar into the cup and level it with a knife; pack brown sugar in firmly, and cut butter from the stick. Scooping straight from the bag packs in up to 30% more flour.
