- 8. 8 fluid ounces = 1 cup = 1/2 pint = 1/4 quart 16 fluid ounces = 2 cups = 1 pint = 1/2 quart 32 fluid ounces = 4 cups = 2 pints = 1 quart = 1/4 gallon 128 fluid ounces = 16 cups = 8 pints = 4 quarts = 1 gallon
- 9. • Common Baking Ingredients in Grams and Cups • This baking conversion chart is a quick reference for grams and volume equivalencies for common baking ingredients. If you like to bake, I implore you to get a digital scale. You’ll be rewarded with more consistent results, less cleanup, and a streamlined process. • When it comes to baking, measuring by weight is much more consistent and accurate. Measuring by volume (e.g. cups) have many variables that can affect actual amounts. • The tradition of measuring in cups can ruin your baking outcome because volume measurements are prone to wide variations. Here are some examples: • A cup of flour can weigh anywhere between 110 and 155 grams. Fluffing the flour bag before measuring a cup gives you a lesser amount of flour. • 1 US cup is 240 ml while 1 UK cup is 250ml. A Japanese/ Korean cup is 200ml. • When a recipe says 1 cup of butter, how would you consistently and accurately fill a cup with solid butter each time you make it?
