2 cups to Grams: Flour, Sugar, Butter and More

2 cups to grams changes by ingredient. A cup of flour is not a cup of sugar by weight, so this chart gives the numbers recipe snippets usually flatten.

Quick answer

2 cups equals 250g all-purpose flour, but 400g granulated sugar.

Pick the ingredient before you bake. The wrong cup-to-grams conversion can add enough flour or sugar to change the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

2 cups is a different gram weight for each ingredient. For example, 2 cups all-purpose flour is 250g, while 2 cups granulated sugar is 400g.

A cup is a volume measure. Grams measure weight. Dense ingredients weigh more per cup than light or aerated ingredients.

Grams are more accurate. If a recipe gives cups, use the ingredient-specific chart and a consistent measuring method such as Spoon & Level.
