2⅓ Cups to Grams
What two and a third cups weighs, for every common baking ingredient
2⅓ cups is 292 g of all-purpose flour, 467 g of granulated sugar, or 530 g of butter, using a US cup.
2⅓ cups of flour and 2⅓ cups of honey are the same amount of space and nowhere near the same weight. That is why "2⅓ cups in grams" has no single answer — it needs the ingredient.
It also depends on whose cup the recipe means. A US cup is 236.6 ml; the metric cup used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada is 250 ml, so it holds about 5.7% more. Both columns are given below.
