Hi everyone. I wonder if you can help. Does anyone know where I can find a list of American cup measurements. For example:
I'm wanting to convert some recipes I have from an American book my daughter bought me on a recent visit and I thought a list of the ingredients in this form would be useful.
I hope you can help.

Lots of tables at web page
and there is a conversion calculator at web page
And there's an British American conversion chart at
I don't know where you can find the direct conversion chart you seek; but, I think the conversions you have, above, are incorrect. Every (US) brand and kind of flour I have looked at indicates on the container that there is 120 grams of flour per cup. Assuming the conversion site I always use
Since I do most of my ingredient weighing in grams, I can usually get what I need either from the package nutrition data or from this USDA database:
Thanks for your quick replies and for the links.
The conversion charts are really useful.
As for the measurements I have, I found the same measurements in several places, so took these as a guideline. I think these are rounded up, because you don't want to be measuring "point something" of an ounce! So these suited me and I wondered if there was anywhere else I could find for other ingredients such as rice, raisins etc.
I have come to the conclusion that if you stick to the one conversion chart for your recipe, it doesn't matter. As long as you don't mix and match!
The cake was amazing by the way. Joan
