1 1/2 cups (1.5 cups) is about 188 g of flour, 300 g of sugar and 341 g of butter. One and a half cups is a frequent measure in larger bakes and bread doughs. Its weight is simply one and a half times the one-cup figure, so one and a half cups of flour is about 188 grams and one and a half cups of sugar about 300 grams.
Quick answer: one and a half cups, written 1.5 cups in decimal form, is 360 ml. In grams it is about 188 g of flour, 300 g of sugar, 341 g of butter and 360 g of water. Milk is close to 366 g.

Why one and a half cups is not a single weight
The reason 1 1/2 cups of flour and 1 1/2 cups of honey weigh nothing alike is density. Flour is light and full of air, so one and a half cups of it is only about 188 grams. Honey is one of the densest things in the kitchen, so the same one and a half cups weighs far more. To turn a volume like one and a half cupsinto grams you multiply by the ingredient's density in grams per cup, which is exactly what the table above does for you.
For everyday cooking, measuring one and a half cups with a measuring cup is perfectly fine. For baking, where the ratio of flour to sugar to fat decides whether a cake is tender or dense, weighing to the gram is far more reliable. A simple digital scale plus the figures here takes the guesswork out of it. Need a different amount? Try the cups to grams converter, or pick another common measure below.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 1/2 cups?
There is no single answer, because a cup measures volume and different ingredients have different densities. One and a half cups of flour is about 188 grams, of sugar about 300 grams, of butter about 341 grams and of water about 360 grams. The full table above lists 1 1/2 cups in grams for 45 ingredients.
How many grams is 1.5 cups?
1.5 cups is the decimal way of writing 1 1/2 cups, so the two are the same measure and the same page answers both. 1.5 cups is 360 ml, and in grams it is about 188 g of flour, 300 g of sugar, 341 g of butter and 360 g of water. Because a cup measures volume, the weight of 1.5 cups changes with the ingredient, so read the exact figure from the table above.
How many grams is 1 1/2 cups of flour?
One and a half cups of all-purpose flour is about 188 grams when spooned and levelled. Scooping straight from the bag packs in extra flour, so weighing is the reliable way to hit 188 grams.
How many grams is 1 1/2 cups of sugar?
One and a half cups of granulated white sugar is about 300 grams. Sugar is dense and does not compress much, so a levelled cup and a scooped cup come out close.
How many grams is 1 1/2 cups of butter?
One and a half cups of butter is about 341 grams. A full US cup of butter is 227 grams, which is two sticks or half a pound, so 1 1/2 cups scales directly from that.
Is 1 1/2 cups the same in US and metric cups?
This page uses US cups, where one cup is 240 millilitres, so 1 1/2 cups is 360 millilitres. A metric cup is 250 millilitres, so the same fraction holds a little more. Converting to grams removes the difference entirely.
