🥄 Baking Unit Converter
Convert between cups, spoons, millilitres, grams, and ounces — and cross from volume to weight using an ingredient's density — so every measurement in your recipe lands in the units you actually use.
⚖️ Volume & Weight
What is a Baking Unit Converter?
It converts kitchen measurements between the units bakers use. Volume units go through a shared millilitre value and weight units through grams; to cross between the two — say, cups of flour to grams — it uses the ingredient's density, because equal volumes of different ingredients weigh different amounts.
Use it to follow a recipe written in another measuring system, or to switch to weighing for more consistent results. For volume↔weight conversions, pick the ingredient so the density is right; when accuracy matters, a digital scale beats a measuring cup every time.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon?
There are exactly 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon. This converter handles all the common baking volume units — teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, fluid ounces, and millilitres — by converting through a canonical millilitre value, so any pair works.
How do I convert cups to grams?
You can't convert volume to weight without knowing the ingredient, because a cup of flour and a cup of sugar weigh different amounts. Choose the ingredient and the tool applies its density: one US cup of flour is about 125 g, while a cup of water is about 237 g. Pick water, flour, sugar, or butter for a volume↔weight conversion.
Why is weighing more accurate than cups?
Cup measures depend on how you scoop and pack an ingredient — a firmly packed cup of flour can weigh far more than a spooned-and-levelled one, throwing off the recipe. Weighing on a digital scale removes that variability, which is why serious bakers work in grams.
Are these US or metric cups?
The cup here is the US customary cup of about 236.6 ml. If your recipe uses metric (250 ml) or UK cups, the millilitre values differ slightly, so convert via millilitres and check the recipe's origin when precision matters, especially for leavening and liquids.
