Grams to cups › 50 grams
How many cups is 50 grams?
It depends on the ingredient: 50 g is ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp of all-purpose flour, ¼ cup of granulated sugar, ¼ cup of butter and ¼ cup minus 2 tsp 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.
