For cakes and muffins, weigh the yogurt when you can. A 250-gram tub is 1.02 cups — just over 1 cup — and a 500-gram tub is 2.04 cups, just over 2 cups.
Why Grams Have Different Cup Values
Cups measure how much space an ingredient occupies, while grams measure how heavy that ingredient is. Different foods pack different amounts of mass into the same volume, which is why a conversion must always include an ingredient.
How to Measure More Accurately
For dry ingredients such as flour, spoon the ingredient into the cup and level it off, and do not press it firmly unless the recipe asks you to pack it. For baking, a digital kitchen scale is usually the simplest way to reproduce a gram measurement consistently.
US Cups vs Metric Cups
Our main conversions use a US customary cup of 236.588 ml. Other cup standards change the grams-per-cup value, so the calculator above adjusts the result when you switch standards.
| Cup Standard | 1 Cup Volume |
|---|---|
| US Customary | 236.588 ml |
| US Legal | 240 ml |
| Metric | 250 ml |
| Imperial | 284.131 ml |
