Why Cup Weights Vary in Butter & Fats

Baking fats span solid emulsions and liquid lipids with distinct specific gravities. Commercial butter is a water-in-fat emulsion consisting of ~80% milkfat, 16-18% water, and 1-2% milk solids. Solid softened butter weighs 227 grams per cup (113.4g per US stick). When butter melts, thermal expansion and phase separation alter volume slightly, yielding ~218g per liquid cup. Pure plant oils (canola, olive, vegetable) contain 100% lipids with no water content and a specific gravity of 0.92 g/ml, translating to 218 grams per US cup regardless of room temperature. Solid vegetable shortening packs air into emulsified fats, averaging 205 grams per cup when spooned or packed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many grams is 1 stick of butter in the US?

One standard US stick of butter equals ½ cup, which weighs exactly 113.4 grams (or 4 ounces).

Why does melted butter weigh less than solid butter per cup?

Thermal expansion increases the volume of liquid butter, meaning a 1-cup liquid volume measure contains ~218g compared to 227g of cold solid butter.

How many grams of vegetable oil are in 1 cup?

One US cup of pure vegetable oil or olive oil weighs 218 grams due to its lipid density of 0.92 g/ml.

Can I swap coconut oil for butter 1:1 in baking?

Solid coconut oil can be swapped 1:1 by weight (227g for 227g), but coconut oil is 100% fat while butter is 80% fat, so baked goods will be richer.

How do I weigh cold butter accurately?

Use the wrapper markers for rough estimates, but place cold cut butter directly on a digital scale tare-zeroed with parchment paper for exact grams.
