Measuring 120g of Pure Maple Syrup in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of pure maple syrup weighs 312g when measured poured liquid, 120 Grams (120g) translates to 0.38 US cups (⅓ cup + 2 ½ tsp). By contrast, using the boiled down / maple cream measure (325g/cup — a 13g per-cup shift), 120g occupies ⅓ cup + 1 ¾ tsp (0.37 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅓ cup + 2 ½ tsp (6.15 tablespoons total) using poured liquid technique. Pour at eye level in a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface, or weigh in a bowl on a digital kitchen scale.
