How many grams is 1 cup of butter?
Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of butter weighs 227 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173430 “Butter, without salt”, portion “1 cup” = 227 grams.
1 cup of butter equals 227 grams; the way back, from grams to cups, is the Grams to Cups converter.
This is the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A recipe written for the metric cup of 250 ml (Australia, New Zealand, Canada) means 5.7 % more: 239.9 grams.
How 1 cup of butter was converted to grams
One US cup of butter weighs 227 grams (two hundred twenty-seven), so multiply 1 by 227.
1 × 227 g
=227 grams
(two hundred twenty-seven grams)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173430 “Butter, without salt”, portion “1 cup” = 227 grams. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a cup weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

The other way round: how many cups a weight fills
This page starts from cups and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many cups a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to cups converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of butter is 0.44 cups there.
