How ⅓ cup of margarine works out
One US cup of margarine weighs 227 grams, so multiply by 0.333 to get a third of a cup: 227 × 0.333 = 75.7 g. In the other direction, 75.7 g of margarine divided by 227 brings you back to ⅓ cup.
If you have no scales, ⅓ cup is 5.333 level tablespoons of margarine (16 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 80 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.
