How many grams is 3 1/2 cups 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.
3 1/2 cups of butter equals 794.5 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: 839.5 grams.
How 3 1/2 cups of butter was converted to grams
One US cup of butter weighs 227 grams (two hundred twenty-seven), so multiply 3 1/2 by 227.
3 1/2 × 227 g
=794.5 grams
(seven hundred ninety-four point five 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.
