Grams to cups › 160 grams
How many cups is 160 grams?
It depends on the ingredient: 160 g is 1¼ cups + 1½ tsp of all-purpose flour, ¾ cup + 1 tbsp of granulated sugar, ⅔ cup + 2 tsp of butter and ⅔ cup of water.
Grams measure weight and cups measure volume, so there is no single answer — a cup of cocoa powder weighs 86 g and a cup of honey 339 g. US cups are 236.6 ml; metric cups (Australia, NZ, Canada, and most UK recipes that use cups) are 250 ml and hold about 6% more.
