How 2 cups of margarine works out
One US cup of margarine weighs 227 grams, so multiply by 2 to get two cups: 227 × 2 = 454 g. In the other direction, 454 g of margarine divided by 227 brings you back to 2 cups.
If you have no scales, 2 cups is 32 level tablespoons of margarine (96 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 480 g.
Tip: Use stick margarine, not tub spread, when substituting for butter in baking; the higher water content of tubs can make cookies spread and cakes turn gummy.
