A gram (g) measures mass; a tablespoon (tbsp) measures volume (~14.7868 mL). Converting requires the ingredient’s density to relate mass to volume.1

Cake Flour Density and Formula

Cake flour is a very light flour (often chlorinated) with typical bulk density around 0.5 g/mL, so 1 tbsp ≈ 7.39 g.

tablespoons = grams ÷ 7.39

grams = tablespoons × 7.39

General formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ (14.7868 × density). With density ~0.5 g/mL, cake flour is ≈ 7.39 g per tbsp.2

Note: Sifting can significantly reduce packing; results are approximate.
