Silken tofu is the softest grade of tofu, with a custard-like texture and high water content. One metric cup (250 ml), once blended smooth, weighs around 250 grams or 8.82 ounces. It blends into a silky cream for vegan cheesecakes, mousses, and dressings, and works as an egg substitute (1/4 cup blended per egg) in dense cakes and brownies.

Silken tofu sells in 300 g or 349 g packs, but recipes usually call for cups. Converting between weight and volume tells you how much of a pack to use without scrambling for a bigger measuring cup mid-bake.
