Margarine (Stick, 80% Fat): How Many Grams in a Cup?
Stick margarine is formulated to mimic butter's consistency for baking. Unlike tub margarine (which has more water/air), stick margarine is stable. However, measuring it by volume relies on the wrapper markings which can be misaligned. Weight allows you to use exactly what the recipe needs, ensuring structure.

FAQ

- Not recommended for baking. Tub margarines contain more water and air to be spreadable; this will make cookies spread too much and cakes soggy.
