Only for liquids. For dry ingredients, the weight per cup varies dramatically. 1 cup of sugar ≈ 200 g, 1 cup of flour ≈ 125 g, 1 cup of butter ≈ 227 g. This converter uses a water-based conversion.

Why do professional bakers weigh ingredients by grams?

Cups measure volume, not weight. Depending on how tightly you pack flour, 1 cup can vary by 30+ grams. Weighing in grams eliminates this variability and ensures consistent results every time.
