A cup is a unit of measure used in cooking and it is equal to 8 fluid ounces. The abbreviation for cup is simply "c". This means that one cup is equal to 8 fluid ounces.
For most cooking and baking recipes, 1 cup of any ingredient typically equals 8 fluid ounces. Understanding what 1 cup of an ingredient looks like (especially when it is a dry ingredient) is much more complicated, as noted by the United States Department of Agriculture. A cup of a dry ingredient can vary in weight from one type of ingredient to another.
It is important to keep in mind that 1 cup of dry ingredients is not always the same as 8 fluid ounces. While 1 cup of a dry ingredient is almost always equal to 8 fluid ounces of a liquid, they are not always equal in weight. For example, 1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs 120 grams and 8 fluid ounces of water weighs approximately 240 grams. Knowing exactly how many ounces are in a cup of a dry ingredient is really a matter of being aware of the particular ingredient and its weight.
Overall, 8 fluid ounces are in one cup. This is especially true when a recipe calls for a cup of a liquid ingredient. Knowing the weight of a particular dry ingredient is essential for appropriate measuring for baking recipes.
