📐 Formula
1 cup = 240ml = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp💡 How It Works
- •In cooking, 1 US cup equals 240ml.
- •1 tablespoon (tbsp) is 15ml, 1 teaspoon (tsp) is 5ml.
- •The same 1 cup weighs differently for each ingredient: flour 120g, sugar 200g, butter 227g.
- •Volume-to-weight conversion considers ingredient density.
- •For accurate baking, using weight measurements (grams) is recommended.
