400 Grams to Cups
400 grams is 3 cups + 3 tbsp of all-purpose flour, 2 cups of granulated sugar or 1 ¾ cups of butter. The exact answer depends on the ingredient.
Tip: Spoon flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs in up to 30 g extra.
400 grams converts to 3 cups + 3 tbsp of all-purpose flour (125 g per cup), 2 cups of granulated sugar (200 g per cup), 1 ¾ cups of butter (227 g per cup), 1 ¾ cups + 1 tbsp of packed brown sugar and 1 ⅔ cups of milk. For any other ingredient, divide 400 by its weight per cup.
