How to measure ground cloves accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh ground cloves on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of ground cloves weighs about 100 grams (3.53 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts ground cloves 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: Add ground cloves with a very light hand — even an extra pinch can turn a spice blend medicinal and bitter.
