- All-purpose flour188 g6.61 oz by weight
- Granulated sugar300 g10.6 oz by weight
- Butter341 g12 oz by weight
As a volume, 1 1/2 cups is 360 ml, 24 tablespoons or 72 teaspoons for any ingredient (US cup, 240 ml).
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.
Also written as 1.5 cups, one and a half cups.
1 1/2 cups (1.5 cups) in grams for all 48 ingredients
A cup measures volume, so one and a half cupsweighs a different amount for each ingredient depending on how dense it is. The most used ingredients come first, then the rest from A to Z. Each name opens that ingredient's full cup to gram table at the 1 1/2 cups row.

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 188 grams. Honey is one of the densest things in the kitchen, so the same one and a half cups weighs 510 grams. 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. Cup sizes also differ by country; see cup sizes compared.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 1/2 cups?
It depends on the ingredient, because a cup measures volume and every ingredient has its own density. In US cups of 240 ml, 1 1/2 cups is 188 grams of all-purpose flour, 300 grams of granulated sugar, 341 grams of butter and 360 grams of water. The table above lists 1 1/2 cups in grams for all 48 ingredients.
How many grams is 1.5 cups?
1.5 cups is the decimal way of writing 1 1/2 cups, so it weighs exactly the same: 188 grams of all-purpose flour, 300 grams of granulated sugar or 341 grams of butter. As a volume it is 360 ml in US cups.
How many grams of flour is 1 1/2 cups?
One and a half cups of all-purpose flour weighs 188 grams when it is spooned into the cup and levelled off. Scooping straight from the bag packs the flour down and adds weight, so a scale is the surest way to hit 188 grams. Bread flour and cake flour weigh slightly differently; both are in the table above.
How many grams of sugar is 1 1/2 cups?
One and a half cups of granulated white sugar weighs 300 grams. Packed brown sugar is heavier at 330 grams and powdered sugar lighter at 180 grams, so check which sugar the recipe means.
How many grams of butter is 1 1/2 cups?
One and a half cups of butter weighs 341 grams, which is 3 sticks of US butter, or 24 tablespoons. A full US cup of butter is 227 grams, which is two sticks.
How many tablespoons is 1 1/2 cups?
1 1/2 cups is 24 tablespoons or 72 teaspoons, because one US cup holds 16 tablespoons of 15 ml. That holds for every ingredient, since cups and tablespoons both measure volume; only the weight in grams changes.
Is 1 1/2 cups the same in US and metric cups?
Not quite. This page uses the US cup of 240 ml, so 1 1/2 cups is 360 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so 1 1/2 cups in metric cups is 375 ml and holds 195 grams of flour instead of 188. Weighing in grams removes the difference.
