What is a baking conversion chart?
Precision matters in baking, since a cup of one ingredient rarely weighs the same as a cup of another. A conversion chart does that math for you, listing side-by-side equivalents so you can switch between grams, ounces, cups, and milliliters without guessing.
The printable charts below total more than 20 pages, so you can print the ones you use most and keep them in your recipe binder for quick reference.
How to measure ingredients
Measuring dry and liquid ingredients is essential for successful baking. The most accurate way to do so is to use a kitchen scale (aka digital scale).
If you live in the United States, you are probably used to standard measurements with measuring cups and spoons.
But don't confuse dry measuring cups with liquid ones with spouts on the side.
Use a scoop-and level-method for dry ingredients except for brown sugar, which should be packed. And make sure to bend to eye level to measure wet ingredients correctly. Please, learn more about measuring liquid and dry ingredients.
You may need a set of measuring spoons to measure small amounts of ingredients.
Whether a novice or a seasoned baker, having the right baking tools and ingredients in the kitchen is important for good baking results. Download the handy baking essential checklist, a quick reference guide.

Baking conversion chart FAQ
What is the difference between a kitchen and a baking conversion chart?
They overlap a lot. A kitchen or cooking conversion chart covers everyday volume and weight measures, while a baking conversion chart also adds oven temperatures, pan sizes, and ingredient-specific weights that baking depends on.
How do you convert cups to grams?
There is no single number, because each ingredient has a different density. Use an ingredient weight chart, since 1 cup of flour, sugar, or butter weighs different amounts in grams.
Are these conversion charts free to print?
Yes. Every chart here is a free printable you can download and print at home, either as individual pages or as a full PDF set for your recipe binder.
How do you convert oven temperatures?
Use the oven temperature conversion chart above to switch between Fahrenheit, Celsius, and gas mark, for example, 350°F (180°C).
