Below you will find the gram-cup conversions for a number of ingredients that I use most frequently on my site for all recipes as of 15th March 2015. It is not a comprehensive list by any stretch of the imagination because I use a myriad of different ingredients, but if you look through my recipes, you’ll find I’m partial to a mashed banana, some pumpkin and a lot of glorious Biscoff Spread… 😉
I would also encourage you to weigh your ingredients. Scales are relatively inexpensive and ensure your bakes are always accurate. I have had success with volumetric baking before, but in grams, it’s guaranteed you have the same amount of an ingredient that I did when developing my recipes!
A note on eggs: I ALWAYS use large eggs in my recipes. 9/10 I write it in my recipes, but if I happen to forget, it doesn’t mean I’ve changed the size of my eggs. Drop me a message and I’ll go back and rectify the mistake!
A note on liquids: 1 cup = 240ml an awful lot of the time. I always write the cup and gram measurements in my recipes, so if this changes I will let you know! (Different thicknesses of liquids etc. can change this measurement!)
