How this conversion is calculated

Volume-to-weight conversions are only as good as the density behind them. We treat baking soda as 220 g per US customary cup, which works out to 0.930 g/ml. From there:

  1. Your millilitres figure is converted into millilitres or grams using standard unit sizes (ml = 1 ml).
  2. The density above bridges volume and weight in whichever direction you need.
  3. The result is rounded the way a cook would round it — to the nearest gram, or to a usable fraction such as 1/2 cups.

Measuring baking soda accurately

1 teaspoon = 4.6 g. Baking soda is roughly 3–4 times stronger than baking powder, so never swap 1:1.

If a recipe matters to you — bread, macarons, anything with a tight hydration or ratio — weigh it. A £10 digital scale removes the single largest source of variation in home baking, and it is faster than washing three measuring cups.

When cups are fine

  • Liquids measured in a proper jug, where volume is the honest unit anyway.
  • Forgiving savoury cooking: soups, stews, stir-fries, marinades.
  • Small amounts of leaveners and spices, as long as you use level spoons.

Frequently asked questions

How much is 100 g of baking soda in cups?

Why do other sites give a different number for baking soda?

1 teaspoon = 4.6 g. Baking soda is roughly 3–4 times stronger than baking powder, so never swap 1:1.

Do UK and Australian cups give the same result?

No. A US customary cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup used in Australia and New Zealand is 250 ml, and an old UK imperial cup is 284 ml. Our default is the US cup, but you can pick metric cups in the converter.
