Understanding ingredient densities

Different ingredients have different densities, which is why 1 cup of flour doesn’t weigh the same as 1 cup of sugar. The values above are based on properly measured ingredients (spooned and leveled for dry goods). Packed ingredients like brown sugar have higher values because they’re compressed.

Spoon and level dry ingredients unless the ingredient name or recipe specifies packed, sifted, melted, chopped, or another condition. Brand, humidity, packing, and measuring technique can change a volume-based result.

  • USDA FoodData Central — Portion weights for common foods, and the basis for the flour and butter figures here.
  • King Arthur Baking Ingredient Weight Chart — Baking ingredient weights, and the source for the per-brand salt figures. Its liquid rows treat 8 fluid ounces as 8 ounces of weight, so liquids here follow measured density instead.

Tips for accurate measuring

Measuring flour

Spoon flour into the measuring cup and level with a knife. Don’t scoop directly from the bag or pack it down, as this can add up to 30% more flour.

Measuring sugar

Granulated sugar can be scooped and leveled. Brown sugar should be firmly packed into the cup - it should hold its shape when turned out.

Measuring liquids

Use a liquid measuring cup and read at eye level. Place the cup on a flat surface and bend down to read the meniscus (bottom curve) of the liquid.

Use weight when possible

For the most accurate baking, use a digital kitchen scale. Weight measurements eliminate variations in how ingredients are packed or scooped.
