How many grams are in a cup of honey?
A US cup (236.6 ml) of honey weighs about 340 grams, liquid. Published charts differ slightly, from 340 to 340 grams, because of how the ingredient is scooped and how finely it is ground or packed. The figure here is the average of two independent sources.

Metric cups and other cup sizes
The figures above use the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of honey weighs about 359 grams. UK recipes that say "cup" usually mean a 250 ml metric cup, which is why weighing in grams is more reliable than measuring by volume.
Measuring honey accurately
Lightly coat your measuring cup with oil or cooking spray before pouring honey so it slides out completely. Honey is extremely viscous, meaning volume measurements often leave residue behind and result in less than intended. Weighing honey directly into your mixing bowl eliminates this sticky problem entirely.
