How to measure sweetcorn accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh sweetcorn on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of sweetcorn weighs about 154 grams (5.43 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts sweetcorn 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: A medium ear of corn gives about ¾ cup of kernels. Drain canned corn and pat it dry so the moisture doesn't loosen a batter.
