All ingredients

Each ingredient has a verified density, citations to two independent sources, and a full set of cup-to-gram and weight-to-volume conversion pages.

baking flour

chocolate

dairy

egg

  • Eggs: cups to grams USDA FoodData Central (fdcId 171287, SR Legacy): Egg, whole, raw, fresh. 1 cup (4.86 large eggs) = 243g.

fat

grain

leavening

legume

liquid sweetener

  • Agave Syrup: cups to grams USDA FoodData Central (fdcId 170277, SR Legacy): Sweetener, syrup, agave. 1 tsp = 6.9g (extrapolated to 1 cup = 331.2g via ×48 tsp). Derived from FDC's 1 tsp = 6.9g portion, which gives a density consistent with other liquid sweeteners (~1.4 g/ml). FDC also lists 1/4 cup = 55g, which yields 0.93 g/ml — internally inconsistent with the tsp value, likely an FDC data error. The tsp value is used here.
  • Honey: cups to grams King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart: Honey = 21g per 1 tablespoon.
  • Light Corn Syrup: cups to grams USDA FoodData Central (fdcId 168837, SR Legacy): Syrups, corn, light. 1 cup = 341g.
