Convert tablespoons (and teaspoons) to grams for flour, sugar, cocoa, butter and more. Small amounts matter most in baking — get them right.
2 tablespoon(s) of all-purpose flour in grams
15 g — 1 tbsp = 7.5 g
1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs 120 g (spooned and levelled). 1 tbsp = 7.5 g, 1 tsp = 2.5 g.
Approximate — verify with a kitchen scale. Density varies with brand, humidity and how the cup is filled.
Formula used: 1 tbsp = 1/16 cup; 1 tsp = 1/48 cup. Grams = amount × 120 g per cup ÷ 16.

How the tablespoons-to-grams converter works
One US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup, so a tablespoon of any ingredient weighs 1/16 of its cup weight: a tablespoon of flour is 7.5 g, of sugar 12.5 g, of honey 21 g. The tool does that division for the ingredient you pick and also shows teaspoons (1 tbsp = 3 tsp).
Watch out for
Tablespoons are where baking goes wrong quietly. A heaped tablespoon of baking powder instead of a level one can double the leavening in a small cake. Always level the spoon with the back of a knife, and for anything under a tablespoon — baking powder, soda, yeast, salt — weigh it if you can. Five grams on a scale beats a guess every time.
