Grams of Butter to Cups Converter
This page converts grams of butter into cups, handy when a recipe is written in metric weights but you only own measuring cups. About 227 g of butter fills one cup, so you divide the weight by 227. Weighing is more accurate than scooping, so use these numbers as a guide.
How to convert grams to cups of butter
Divide the grams by 227. For example 300 g of butter is 300 ÷ 227 = 1.3216 cups. To go the other way, multiply cups by 227: 1.3216 × 227 = 300 g.

How much does a cup really weigh?
Density is the reason there is no single answer: a cup is a measure of space, not weight, so its weight depends on the ingredient. A cup of butter is two US sticks and weighs 227 g (8 ounces); one tablespoon is about 14 g. The figure of 227 g per cup used here is a common baking reference value; your own flour, humidity and scooping habit can move it a few percent either way.
Measure by spooning the ingredient lightly into the cup and leveling the top with a knife; never press it down unless the recipe says "packed". Scooping straight from the bag compacts dry ingredients and can add 20% or more. A digital kitchen scale removes the guesswork entirely, and it also means fewer dishes to wash.
Grams to cups of butter FAQ
How many grams are in one cup of butter?
One US cup of butter weighs about 227 g. That is a typical reference value, not an exact constant, because the weight changes with how the ingredient is packed.
