US to UK measurements?

glossygoose27

Hi there - can anybody tell me how many grams are in 1 'cup' when used in US recipes? I have found a great banana bread recipe I would like to make but I want to make sure I get the quantities right! Thanks

Unfortunately grams is a measure of mass and cup is volume, so it gets a bit tricky.

You have to know how dense the ingredient is to convert it.

t depends what you have in the cup. A cup is a measure of volume, but a gram is a measure of mass.

It would be best to search by each ingredient. For example you can search "1 cup granulated sugar in grams"

Here's an article that nay help.
