Measuring tip. Grease the measuring cup lightly, or weigh directly into the bowl. Honey clings, and what stays in the cup is a real measurement error.

A US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup is 250 ml and a UK tablespoon is larger than a US one — so the system your recipe was written in matters. Pick the matching unit rather than assuming.

Questions

How many grams is 1 cup of honey?

One US cup of honey weighs 340 grams. That works out to a density of about 1.44 g per mL.

How many cups is 100 g of honey?

100 g of honey is about 0.29 cups, or roughly 4.7 tablespoons.

Why can’t I convert cups to grams directly?

A cup measures volume and a gram measures weight, so the conversion depends entirely on the ingredient. A cup of honey is 340 g, but a cup of honey is 340 g and a cup of cocoa powder is only 84 g.

Does the cup size matter?

Yes. A US customary cup is 236.59 mL, a US legal cup is 240 mL and a metric cup is 250 mL. Using a metric cup for honey gives 359 g instead of 340 g — about 6 percent more.
