What is 1 cup of molasses in grams?

1 cup of molasses in grams is 340 grams. The ratio is fixed, so 2 cups is 680 grams and half a cup is 170 grams. Weighing molasses by the cup is the most common way to measure it for baking. See the full cup to grams chart for molasses, or use the converter on this page for any other amount.

How many cups is 100 grams of molasses?

100 grams of molasses is 0.29 cups. The conversion scales in a straight line, so 200 grams is 0.59 cups and 50 grams is 0.15 cups. Grams to cups helps when a recipe gives a weight but you measure with cups. See the full grams to cups chart for molasses for more amounts.

Molasses is a thick, dark syrup produced as a byproduct of refining cane sugar into white crystals. When a recipe calls for it by weight, one metric cup (250 ml) is around 340 grams or 12 ounces. Its bittersweet depth gives gingerbread, treacle tart, and dark rye bread their distinctive flavour.

Molasses clings to measuring cups and spoons, so weighing in grams gives a more reliable result. Pour it directly onto a scale for the cleanest measurement.

Honey and molasses are both thick liquid sweeteners and close in weight (honey 350 g, molasses 340 g per cup), but honey is golden and floral while molasses is dark and bittersweet. Use them interchangeably only in recipes that can handle the strong, distinctive flavour of molasses. See our Honey converter.

Golden syrup is slightly heavier (350 g vs 340 g per cup) and has a mild buttery toffee taste, while molasses is darker and more bitter. They are not a clean 1:1 swap in flavour-sensitive bakes; weigh and expect a milder, sweeter result from golden syrup. See our Golden Syrup converter.

Maple syrup is lighter (325 g vs 340 g per cup) and thinner with a delicate caramel taste, while molasses is dense and bittersweet. Swap only in recipes that can handle a much stronger, darker flavour. See our Maple Syrup converter.

Brown sugar is made by mixing white sugar with molasses, so the two are closely related in flavour. In some recipes you can replace a portion of brown sugar with a smaller amount of molasses, though the texture will change as molasses adds moisture without bulk. See our Brown Sugar converter.

Palm sugar is a dry, granulated sweetener with earthy, caramel notes that come partly from the same compounds molasses contributes to other sugars. It is not a direct liquid substitute, but the two share a similar flavour role in dark, spiced bakes. See our Palm Sugar converter.

Parisian essence is a thinner caramel browning liquid, much lighter than molasses (230 g vs 340 g per cup). Use it to deepen the colour and add a malty note to cakes and gravies. See our Parisian Essence converter.
