Quick answers

1/4 cup of marzipan is about 72 g, 1/3 cup is about 97 g, 1/2 cup is about 145 g, 2/3 cup is about 193 g, 3/4 cup is about 218 g and 1 cup is about 290 g (10.2 oz). One tablespoon is about 18.1 g and one teaspoon about 6.0 g.

Example: using marzipan in a recipe

If a recipe asks for 1 1/2 cups of marzipan, that is 1.5 x 290 g, or about 435 g. If a recipe gives 200 g and you only have cups, divide 200 by 290 to get about 2/3 cups.

How to measure marzipan

Thick spreads trap air pockets when you spoon them in. Press the marzipan into the cup, level it and scrape it out with a spatula. Weighing into a bowl is much easier than scraping a cup.

Where these weights come from

Weights follow the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (rounded). Brands and measuring methods vary, so treat results as close estimates.
