Baking Measurements

Baking MeasurementsSometimes when I’m not sure about a recipe but want to try it anyway, I scale down the recipe to 50% of the original. In those circumstances, I found it very difficult to calculate 50% of 3/4 cup, or to measure 50% of 1.5 tablespoon, etc. Then I found this handy table in my “Baking for Dummies” book. For instance 3/4th of a cup is equal to 12 tablespoons, so half of it would be 6 tablespoons.


Here are the frequently asked questions on baking measurements:

    Is it possible to Download any of the individual charts? Do I have to have a subscription?
    Excellent Quality. Thank you.

      I will look into it. Thanks, David.

    I have to come up with 198 grams of Jet Puff Marshmallow cream. How much of a cup is this please?

    • Madhuram

      I Googled and found this, Joyce https://cookiesandcups.com/marshmallow-conversions/ My understanding from the chart provided in the link, 7 ounces marshmallow cream/fluff is 1 and 1/2 cups. 7 ounce when converted into gms is 198 gms. So 198gms marshmallow is 1.5 cups. Please verify the logic.

    Hi there I’m making a chocolate cake in a
    8 inch by 3 inch deep pan
    Also a 6 inch by 3 inch deep pan both round
    Can u tell me how much ingredients I need for each please and cooking time in a fan oven
    Please some one reply I’m desperate as noone else has even bothered to answer me on other sites

    • Madhuram

      It’s difficult to come up with such specific measurements, Faith. Choose any recipe that will bake two 8 inch cakes and fill the tins that you are using appropriately and use the remaining batter to make some cupcakes. Or look for a recipe that bakes one 8-inch cake and make the batter 1.5 times of it, so that you can fill one 8 inch cake and the remaining batter should be fine for the 6 inch cake. This is how I would proceed if I have to bake 2 cakes like you have mentioned.

    I’m trying to make a cake and keep finding different gram amounts for cups of cake flour. Once recipe says to use 2.25 cups or 240 g and another says 2.25 cups or 260 g. My weighing out 2.25 cups (sifted) gives me 300 g. The cake flour box says 120 g per cup, the recipe site i was using said about 115, and when I weigh it out sifted it is about 126 grams per cup. I guess since most recipes are consistent with the cups I’m gonna do by cups this time rather than weight. I’m a scientist, so this is driving me a bit crazy. I had thought baking was best done by weight.

    • Madhuram

      I started baking after I moved to North America, and standard cup sizes were being used here, and I found it easy to follow. I understand that it can be frustrating for those who have been using the imperial measurement, especially the conversion being such a pain.

    Hi, I live in Australia and have done cooking/baking near 65 years, so I’m pretty familiar with weights and measure conversion and what I don’t know these latter years Dr. Google has helped me out. This time though I’m a bit baffled as for the first time I’ve come across a measurement of 3/8th of a cup. Now, I’m wondering who would have a cup that measures 3/8th of a cup let alone 1/8th in their set of cups. Also, the problem is that 3/8th of “whatever” solid may not necessarily weigh the same as 3/8th of a different solid.
    My question is: What would 3/8th of a cup of “breadcrumbs” weigh in grams.

    I just wish people would use or include ingredients with equivalents (cups/ozs/grams/mls) as we don’t all live in the same country with ONE SET OF WEIGHTS. (IMPERIAL/METRIC).
    I came across your site while searching and found that it’s very helpful except for – my question.
    A reply at your earliest convenience would be great, Thank you.

    • Madhuram

      I’m very sorry to have missed this message. Some of the messages got mixed up with spam and I found it rather late. Regarding the conversions, you can always Google and it will be more helpful than the chart in my personal opinion. For instance, I Googled 1 cup of breadcrumbs (dry) in grams and found out that it’s 150 grams, so 3/8ths of that will be 56.25 gms.

    There is no need for everyone to measure according to a single standard since half of three quarters equals six tablespoons. For example, if a cup is a standard then it is not mandatory for the.Thank you for article sharing.

    • Madhuram

      Sorry for not having noticed this message before. Actually you can straightaway type in Google like “190 gms of milk to cups” and you will get the answer. When I did so it shows it’s 3/4th of a cup. Hope this will work out for the other measurements too.

    Hello, My name is Georgina, and I have a question abt. g. Forty g’s of mini chocolate chips. I have no idea how much that is. I sent my daug. to the store to by them. I don’t have any other chocolate chips to compare them with; I’m sort of at a standstill. But I’m going to assume that they are the small ones, only because they seem a mitty tinne to me. So back to my question, how much is 40g’s in % or cups. I don’t no. Thank you for being there. And as well thank you so much for your help. Regards: G.P.

    • Madhuram

      I Googled for 50 gms of chocolate chips and found that it’s about 1/3rd of a cup. So I assume 40gms will be a little less than that.
