How many cups is 540 grams of all-purpose flour?
Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168894 “Wheat flour, white, all-purpose, enriched, bleached”, portion “1 cup” = 125 grams. In kitchen measures that is just under 4 1/3 cups.
540 grams of all-purpose flour equals 4.32 US cups; the way back, from cups to grams, is the Cups to Grams converter.
This is the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup of 250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, is 5.7 % larger, so the same weight fills 4.09 cups of that size.
How 540 grams of all-purpose flour was converted to cups
A cup is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams (one hundred twenty-five), so divide 540 by 125.
540 g ÷ 125 g
=4.32 cups
(four point three two cups)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168894 “Wheat flour, white, all-purpose, enriched, bleached”, portion “1 cup” = 125 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.

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 all-purpose flour is 125 grams there and here.
