How many tablespoons is 50 grams of baking powder?

Answer

50 grams of baking powder is
3.62 US tablespoons

One US tablespoon (14.8 ml) of baking powder weighs 13.8 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 172803 “Leavening agents, baking powder, double-acting, sodium aluminum sulfate”, portion “1 tsp” = 4.6 grams, and 1 US tablespoon = 3 US teaspoons. In kitchen measures that is just under 3 5/8 tablespoons.

50 grams of baking powder equals 3.62 US tablespoons; the way back, from tablespoons to grams, is the Tablespoons to Grams converter.

The same 50 grams of baking powder is 10.9 US teaspoons.

This is the level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. The metric tablespoon of 15 ml (UK, New Zealand, Canada) is 1.4 % larger and takes 3.57 tablespoons; the Australian tablespoon of 20 ml is 35.3 % larger, so the same weight fills only 2.68 tablespoons of those.

How 50 grams of baking powder was converted to tablespoons

tablespoons = grams ÷ grams in one US tablespoon

A tablespoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US tablespoon of baking powder weighs 13.8 grams (thirteen point eight), so divide 50 by 13.8.

50 g ÷ 13.8 g

≈

3.62 tablespoons

(three point six two tablespoons)

The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 172803 “Leavening agents, baking powder, double-acting, sodium aluminum sulfate”, portion “1 tsp” = 4.6 grams, and 1 US tablespoon = 3 US teaspoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a tablespoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.
