How many grams is 1 cup of heavy cream?
Answer
238 g
1 cup of heavy cream is about 238 grams, or 8.4 ounces. That works out from USDA's figure of roughly 238 g for a full US cup (236.6 mL).
This is liquid cream before whipping. Whipped cream is mostly air and weighs about half as much per cup.

Measuring tip
Liquids are the easiest thing to measure by volume, so cups and a scale will agree closely. Dairy weighs a little more or less than water depending on its fat, sugar and air content.
