Baking Conversion Tables for Common Ingredients

Baking can be a challenging endeavor, especially when it comes to conversions between cups, grams, ounces, pounds, tablespoons, and teaspoons. Getting these conversions right will ensure that your baking project turns out the way it should. With these baking conversion tables for common baking ingredients, you'll never have to worry about measuring ingredients wrong again.

How many grams are in a cup and how many ounces are in a cup depend on what you’re measuring. This is because grams and ounces measure weight while cups measure volume. A cup of one ingredient won’t weigh the same as another because their densities may be different. That is why baking conversion tables are so helpful.

Because cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons all measure volume, these conversions are the same for all ingredients. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon.
