Ingredient Profile
Baking Powder has a density of 192g per cup, based on USDA FoodData Central data. Usually measured in teaspoons rather than cups in recipes.
Density can shift with brand, moisture content, or how the ingredient was packed before it reached your kitchen. Weighing on a scale removes that guesswork.
For comparison, honey is denser at 340g per cup, while panko breadcrumbs is lighter at 60g per cup — a reminder that weight per cup varies by ingredient, not by category alone.
How to Measure Baking Powder in Cups
Spoon into the cup and level off. Ingredients like cocoa powder benefit from a quick sift first to break up clumps.
Baking soda and baking powder should always be measured with a dry measuring spoon, leveled flat — a heaping spoonful of either can meaningfully change how a baked good rises.
If a recipe calls for baking powder by weight instead of volume, a digital kitchen scale set to grams removes any measuring-technique variation entirely — the converter at the top of this page shows both figures side by side so you can check your result either way.

Use the converter at the top of this page, or divide your gram amount by 192 to get cups.
Why does baking powder weigh a different amount per cup than other dry goods?+
Even within the same category, particle size, moisture, and packing differ enough to change the weight-per-cup figure by 10-30%. That's why this page uses a value measured specifically for baking powder, not a category-wide average.
Is 192g per cup the same across every brand of baking powder?+
It's close for most brands, though minor milling, processing, or moisture differences can shift the true figure by a few grams. USDA FoodData Central provides the reference value used here.
