Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of canned pumpkin puree weighs 227g when measured dip and sweep, 50 Grams (50g) translates to 0.22 US cups (3 tbsp + 1 ½ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 3 tbsp + 1 ½ tsp (3.52 tablespoons total) using dip and sweep technique. Spoon dense pumpkin puree into a dry measuring cup, tap once lightly on the counter to eliminate air pockets, and sweep level. One standard 15-ounce can contains 425 grams, which equals roughly 1 7/8 cups (227g per level cup).
