Ingredient questions

Baking powder FAQ.

How many grams are in a cup of baking powder?

This page uses 192g per US cup as the PantryGauge reference. The named ingredient and measurement basis matter, so do not reuse the figure for a different product state.

How should baking powder be measured?

Use level teaspoons for real recipes; the chart entry is 4g per teaspoon. When a recipe gives grams, weighing remains the more repeatable option.

Can I use this baking powder conversion for another type?

Use caution. Baking soda is a different leavener with different chemistry and its own chart entry. Check the recipe's exact ingredient and, when available, its product-specific weight reference.
