Frequently Asked Questions
40 grams can be a different number of cups depending on the ingredient. For example, 40g all-purpose flour is 1/3 cup, while 40g granulated sugar is 1/4 cup.
Cups measure volume, while grams measure weight. Flour, sugar, butter, oats, and liquids have different densities, so the same gram weight fills a different cup volume.
Choose the exact ingredient first, then use the ingredient-specific conversion. Spoon & Level is the recommended method for dry baking ingredients.
