3.13 US cups

One US cup (236.6 ml) of cornstarch weighs 128 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169698 “Cornstarch”, portion “1 cup” = 128 grams. In kitchen measures that is exactly 3 1/8 cups.

How 400 grams of cornstarch was converted to cups

cups = grams ÷ grams in one US cup

A cup is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US cup of cornstarch weighs 128 grams (one hundred twenty-eight), so divide 400 by 128.

400 g ÷ 128 g

≈

3.13 cups

(three point one three cups)

The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169698 “Cornstarch”, portion “1 cup” = 128 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 cornstarch is 128 grams there and here.
