400 g of all-purpose flour is 3 tbsp more than 3 cups. 400 g is about 18% of a 5 lb (2,268 g) bag of flour. 400 g is the same weight as 2 cups of granulated sugar. At King Arthur Baking's 120 g per cup, 400 g would fill about 2 tbsp more than at 125 g.

The flour cup weights cover every amount from 10 g to 1 kg.

How to convert 400 g of all-purpose flour to cups

  1. Divide by the weight of 1 cup: 400 ÷ 125 = 3.20 US cups.
  2. Fill the 1 cup measure 3 times.
  3. Add 3 tablespoons.
  4. Spoon the all-purpose flour into each measure until it heaps, then level it with a straight edge. Don’t tap or press.
Spooned vs scooped. Scooping straight from the bag packs in more flour, so a scooped cup weighs more than 125 g.
