How many cups is 20 grams 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.

How 20 grams of butter was converted to cups
A cup is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US cup of butter weighs 227 grams (two hundred twenty-seven), so divide 20 by 227.
20 g ÷ 227 g
≈0.0881 cups
(zero point zero eight eight one cups)
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 grams in a cup
This page starts from grams and answers in cups. The opposite question — how many grams a recipe’s cups weigh, fractions like 1/2 and 2 1/2 included — is what the cups to grams converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: one US cup of butter is 227 grams there and here.
