How to measure garlic powder accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh garlic powder on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of garlic powder weighs about 150 grams (5.29 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts garlic powder and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Roughly ⅛ teaspoon of garlic powder replaces one fresh clove. Don't confuse garlic powder with garlic salt, which is mostly salt.
