Source: King Arthur Baking — measured spooned and levelled.
Approximate — verify with a kitchen scale. Density varies with brand, humidity and how the cup is filled.

How the ingredient density lookup works
Search any of the 120 ingredients in the table to see its weight per cup, per tablespoon and per teaspoon, with the source — King Arthur Baking or USDA — and the measuring method. Flour is 120 g per cup spooned and levelled; sugar is 198 g; butter is 227 g; honey is 336 g.
Watch out for
The table gives the standard value for each ingredient, but real ingredients vary: flour picks up moisture in a humid kitchen, brown sugar packs tighter than white, and cocoa powder settles in the tin. Treat every number as a good starting point and verify with a kitchen scale when the recipe matters. The table covers 120 ingredients, from flours and sugars to spices, nuts and liquids.
