Spooned and levelled; scooped, up to 150 g. Weights by volume vary with how a cup is filled and with the product, so weighing is more accurate for baking.

Questions
How many grams are in a cup of flour?
About 125 g of all-purpose flour spooned into a US cup and leveled, the USDA’s figure. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down, giving anything up to about 150 g, which is why baking recipes often give weights.
Where do the ingredient weights come from?
From the US Department of Agriculture’s FoodData Central (SR Legacy), which lists the weight of a household cup for each food. The source record is shown with each result.
Is a cup the same everywhere?
No. A US cup is 236.6 mL; Australia, New Zealand and Canada often use a 250 mL metric cup. An Australian tablespoon is 20 mL, against 14.8 mL in the US. Choose the one your recipe uses.
Why does butter weigh more than flour per cup?
Because it is denser: a cup of butter is about 227 g (two US sticks), a cup of flour about 125 g. Conversions between volume and weight depend on the ingredient, while cups to milliliters never do.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
