Recipe Scaler
Scale a recipe up or down, then convert each ingredient's scaled grams → cups.

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 each ingredient's own density data. That makes it more useful than a basic multiplier when your recipe mixes grams, cups, tablespoons, and common baking ingredients.
It works best when you enter the 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.
Best uses
- •Doubling or halving cakes, cookies, bread, and pastry formulas.
- •Translating a gram-based recipe into cups for home cooks who prefer volume.
- •Planning shopping lists by checking total scaled weight before you bake.
- •Scaling catering recipes from a small batch to a large one.
Scaling tips for better results
Keep grams when possible
Weight-based scaling stays cleaner because you avoid accumulated rounding from repeated cup conversions. Enter amounts in grams for the most accurate result.
Watch ingredient state
Melted butter, packed brown sugar, and sifted flour should not be treated as identical to their unmodified forms. Their effective density differs.
Review recipe balance
Very large scale changes can affect pan size, mixing time, bake time, and leavening behaviour even when the math is perfectly correct.
