260 Grams to Cups

260 grams is 2⅛ cups of all-purpose flour, 1⅓ cups of granulated sugar, or 1⅛ cups of butter — and it’s essentially 1 cup of peanut butter.

260g is a practical baking quantity: enough flour for one standard 9-inch cake layer, or 1⅓ cups of sugar for a generous batch of cookies.


🥕

260g ≈ 1 cup of peanut butter. Peanut butter weighs approximately 258g per US cup, so 260g is essentially 1 cup — just 2g over. For peanut butter recipes, treat 260g as a precise 1-cup measure with no meaningful rounding error.

Frequently Asked Questions

260 grams of all-purpose flour is 2.08 cups (2⅛ cups). The calculation is 260 ÷ 125 = 2.08. In practice, measure 2 cups + 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon using the spoon-and-level method. This is enough for a single 9-inch cake layer or about 24 standard cookies.
260 grams of granulated sugar is 1.30 cups (1⅓ cups) — 1 cup + 4 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons. Brown sugar (packed) at 220g/cup: 260g = 1.18 cups (1 cup + 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons). Powdered sugar at 120g/cup: 260g = 2.17 cups (2 cups + 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons).
260 grams of peanut butter is approximately 1.008 cups — essentially 1 cup. At 258g per US cup, 260g is just 2g over 1 cup — well within any real-world measuring margin. For peanut butter cookies, no-bake bars, or satay sauce, treat 260g as exactly 1 cup.
260 grams of butter is approximately 1.145 cups (1⅛ cups) — 1 cup + 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon. In US butter sticks (113g each), 260g = 2.3 sticks. Use 2 full sticks + 4 tablespoons (from a third stick) as the closest practical measure.
