How many grams in a cup?
It depends on the ingredient, because a cup measures volume. A US cup of water weighs 237 g, all-purpose flour 125 g, sugar 200 g and butter 227 g.
1 cup of all-purpose flour = 125 grams

Weights per US cup (236.6 ml), spooned and levelled, from USDA FoodData Central. All ingredients.
Light, airy ingredients (flour, cocoa, oats) weigh much less than a cup of water; dense ones (honey, syrups, salt) weigh more.
If a recipe gives grams, weighing is always more accurate than cups. Cups are fine for liquids and for forgiving recipes.
