150 grams equals 1.25 cups (1 1/4 cups) of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cups (3/4 cup) of granulated sugar, or 2/3 cup of butter.
Adjust ingredients below to calculate the exact volume for 150g.
Technique note: Fluff flour with a fork, spoon gently into the cup until heaping, then sweep level with a straight edge. Never scoop directly.
Verified standard: 1 US cup of All-Purpose Flour = 120 grams (King Arthur Baking & USDA FoodData Central (FDC ID: 168936)).
Below is the exact conversion of 150g into US Customary cups and level tablespoons for common baking staples:
| Ingredient | US Cups | Tablespoons | Measuring Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-Purpose Flour | 1.25 cups (1 1/4 cups) | 20.0 tbsp | Spooned and leveled |
| Granulated Sugar | 0.75 cup (3/4 cup) | 12.0 tbsp | Exact 3/4 cup |
| Brown Sugar (Packed) | 0.68 cup (~2/3 cup) | 10.9 tbsp | Packed firmly |
| Powdered Sugar | 1.25 cups (1 1/4 cups) | 20.0 tbsp | Sifted confectioners |
| Butter | 0.66 cup (2/3 cup) | 10.6 tbsp | 1 stick + 2.5 tbsp |
| Cocoa Powder | 1.50 cups (1 1/2 cups) | 24.0 tbsp | Natural or Dutch-process |

Culinary Tip: For light powders like flour and cocoa, always fluff the ingredient before spooning it into the cup, then scrape the top level with a flat straight edge. For packed ingredients like brown sugar, press firmly with a spoon.
