How many grams is 1 1/4 cups of heavy cream?
Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of heavy cream weighs 238 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 170859 “Cream, fluid, heavy whipping”, portion “1 cup, fluid (yields 2 cups whipped)” = 238 grams.
1 1/4 cups of heavy cream equals 297.5 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: 314.4 grams.
How 1 1/4 cups of heavy cream was converted to grams
One US cup of heavy cream weighs 238 grams (two hundred thirty-eight), so multiply 1 1/4 by 238.
1 1/4 × 238 g
=297.5 grams
(two hundred ninety-seven point five grams)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 170859 “Cream, fluid, heavy whipping”, portion “1 cup, fluid (yields 2 cups whipped)” = 238 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 heavy cream is 0.42 cups there.
