How many tablespoons are in a cup?

[KristySpra]

Hi everyone, I need help with a cooking measurement conversion. Can anyone tell me how many tablespoons in a cup? I'm adjusting a recipe and want to get it right.

Steps to Convert Cups to Tablespoons:​

1. Know the basic conversion:
   1 cup = 16 tablespoons
2. Write down how many cups you want to convert.
3. Multiply the number of cups by 16.
   (Because there are 16 tablespoons in every cup)

Example:​

Convert 2 cups to tablespoons:
→ 2 × 16 = 32 tablespoons

In the U.S. one cup of the measurements contains 16 tablespoons. This is when it comes to liquid and dry ingredients. Being aware of this conversion makes it easier to cook, bake, as well as change recipes appropriately without using numerous measuring tools.
