Butter mL to Grams: Melted vs Soft Butter
Butter is denser or lighter depending on its state. A 100 mL measure of melted butter is about 91 g, while soft butter depends on how firmly it is packed.
Practical ingredient charts, cooking examples and clear explanations of volume-to-mass calculations.

100 mL of loosely spooned cocoa powder is approximately 44 g. The weight changes noticeably when you press the powder into the measure.
100 mL of all-purpose flour weighs about 52.9 g using a loose, level measure. Different flour types and scooping methods produce different numbers.
100 mL of honey weighs about 142 g using a representative density of 1.42 g/mL. Honey is significantly heavier than water at the same volume.
100 mL of heavy cream is about 99 g. Light cream and half-and-half can be slightly heavier depending on their composition.
100 mL of loosely measured rolled oats weighs around 34 g. Quick oats and steel-cut oats pack differently.
100 mL of olive oil weighs around 91 g. Olive oil floats on water because its density is below 1 g/mL.
100 mL of milk weighs around 103 g. Whole, low-fat and skim milk are all close to this practical kitchen value.
100 mL of uncooked white rice weighs about 78 g. Cooked rice contains absorbed water, so the same cup volume has a different weight.
100 mL of granulated white sugar is about 84.5 g. Brown and powdered sugar need separate density values.
100 mL of plain yogurt is around 104 g; Greek yogurt is commonly near 105 g. Both vary by brand and thickness.
Converting grams into milliliters requires the ingredient density. Divide the mass in grams by density in g/mL.
One mL is approximately one gram only for water around typical kitchen temperatures. Different substances have different densities.
Multiply mL by the ingredient density in g/mL to obtain mass in grams. Example: 150 mL of milk × 1.03 = 154.5 g.
