150 grams to cups
150 grams is a common mid-recipe amount that converts to a unique cup figure for every ingredient.
One hundred fifty grams shows up constantly in cake and bread recipes as a mid-sized quantity. Since density rules the conversion, 150g of flour, sugar, and butter each stop at their own distinct line on the measuring cup.

One hundred fifty grams is a workhorse amount, common for a generous flour measure or a full portion of sugar in cakes and cookies. It is also a perfect illustration of why grams-to-cups depends entirely on the ingredient. One hundred fifty grams of all-purpose flour (about 120 g per cup) comes to about 1.25 cups, but the same 150 g of granulated sugar (about 200 g per cup) is only 0.75 cup, a dramatically smaller scoop for the identical weight. Light, airy cocoa powder (about 85 g per cup) expands 150 g to roughly 1.75 cups, the largest of the three. Dense butter (about 227 g per cup) shrinks to about 0.66 cup. From three-quarters of a cup to nearly two cups for one weight, this spread is exactly why bakers who weigh ingredients get far more consistent results than those who scoop.
Cups measure volume and grams measure weight, so there is no single grams-to-cups number, always pick the ingredient. Choose it in the calculator above to switch cup sizes too.
