Butter belongs to the Dairy group on GramToCup, alongside other ingredients measured the same way in most kitchens. It shows up most often in cookies & cakes, pastry & pie crust, sautéing. Its density of 227g per US cup is what this calculator uses to convert between grams and cups automatically — no manual lookup required.
Butter is a solid fat at room temperature, and its density reflects how much water and air get worked into it when it's softened, whipped, or packed — softer or more aerated fat weighs less for the same cup.
A cup of butter is about 1.8× heavier than a cup of all-purpose flour (125g/cup), even though both fill the same 1-cup measuring cup.
Common mistake: Eyeballing a chunk instead of using the wrapper markings or a scale, which is one of the least accurate ways to measure it.
Use the tablespoon markings on the wrapper for small amounts of butter, or press it firmly into a dry measuring cup and level the top for a full-cup measurement.
When a recipe needs to be exact, weigh it on a kitchen scale instead of using a measuring cup at all — it removes packing and settling from the equation entirely.
Let butter come to the temperature the recipe expects (cold, room temperature, or melted) before measuring — its volume changes noticeably between states.
100g of butter is approximately 0.44 cups, based on a density of 227g per US cup.
1 US cup of butter weighs about 227g. Use the calculator above to convert any other amount instantly.
No — the calculator above converts butter between grams and cups without a scale. A scale is only more accurate when a recipe already lists grams and you want to skip the volume measurement entirely.
Because cups measure volume and grams measure weight. A cup of butter is about 1.8× heavier than a cup of all-purpose flour (125g/cup) because the two ingredients have different densities — see the density explanation above for why.
Use the tablespoon markings on the wrapper for small amounts of butter, or press it firmly into a dry measuring cup and level the top for a full-cup measurement.
They're in the same category, but check the density first: Olive oil weighs 216g per cup versus 227g for butter. Substituting by weight (grams) keeps a recipe accurate; substituting cup-for-cup can change the result if the densities differ much.
