Often I am asked how many grams in a cup of flour or how many ounces in a cup of sugar. Sometimes I will provide all that information if I have it, otherwise I will just post the measurements that I have. My readers in Europe prefer the measurements in grams and my readers in the US and Canada prefer the measurements in cups or ounces.
To make everyone happy, I’m going to provide some conversions here for some basic ingredients.

I use US cups which is around 236 ml to a cup, but the difference is so small it shouldn’t matter in most recipes.

I can not for the life of me figure out the 150 grams of sugar. What does it equal to in regular measuring cups??
Thank you

It’s about .6 of a cup which is just a bit over half a cup. Hope this helps.
