How many 1/2 cups do I need to make 1 cup?
This page can be used as a reference for converting between cups, grams, ounces, pounds, and ounces.It's better to measure ingredients by weight rather than volume.
The calculation of cups to grams is dependent on the density of the ingredient and how it is packed into the cup.It is possible to increase the yield and weight by packing an ingredient into a cup or tapping the cup.
The Modern Domestic, Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations contains ingredient conversions and densities.
All purpose flour, bread, cake, pastry, Whole-wheat Flour, Cornflour (cornstarch), Granulated Sugar, Caster Sugar and Brown Sugar are included.
