Recipe Scaler
Scale a recipe up or down, then convert each ingredient's scaled grams into cups.
Scale recipe
Original recipe
Examples: “250g flour”, “1 cup sugar”, “2 tbsp cocoa powder”
Scaled recipe
Multiplier: ×2🌾 500g All-Purpose Flour
500g • 4 cups • 125g/cup
🍬 240g Granulated Sugar
240g • 1.2 cups • 200g/cup
🧈 200g Butter
200g • 0.88 cups • 227g/cup
How it's calculated
Scaled grams = original grams × 2; cups are computed per ingredient density.
Note: densities vary by brand, humidity, and measuring method. Use a kitchen scale for best accuracy.
What this recipe scaler is designed to do
This tool scales your original recipe by serving count, recalculates each ingredient amount, and translates the scaled weight into cups using that ingredient's own density. That makes it more useful than a flat multiplier when your recipe mixes grams, cups, tablespoons, and common baking ingredients.
It works best when you enter each ingredient as precisely as possible — the closer your unit choice and ingredient name match the original recipe, the more reliable the scaled output will be.
Keep grams when possible
Weight-based scaling stays cleaner because you avoid rounding error from repeated cup conversions.
Watch ingredient state
Melted butter, packed sugar, and sifted flour shouldn't be treated as identical to their unmodified forms.
Review recipe balance
Large scale changes can affect pan size, mixing time, and bake time even when the math is correct.
