Understanding Baking Powder Conversions

The Math Behind This Conversion

To convert 1 gram of baking powder to us cup, we divide by the density (0.9 g/ml). First, 1g ÷ 0.9 g/ml = 1.1ml. Then, dividing by the us cup volume (236.59ml): 1.1ml ÷ 236.59ml = 0 us cup.

Measurement Tip

Baking Powder is a high-impact ingredient—even small measurement errors can significantly affect your baking. Always use proper measuring spoons (not regular cutlery) and level off with a straight edge. Too much baking powder can cause over-rising and collapse, while too little results in dense baked goods.
