What Is Double ⅞ Cup?
How to measure 1¾ cups
- With standard cups & spoons: 1 cup + 3/4 cup
- Tablespoon method: count out 28 level tablespoons. A cup is 16 tablespoons, so awkward cup fractions often come out to a clean number of spoons.

- By weight (most accurate): see the gram table below for common ingredients.
Here's the math: ⅞ cup is 14 tablespoons. Take double of that and you get 28 tablespoons, which is 1¾ cups. Scaling up is forgiving for most ingredients — but see the FAQ below for the ones that aren't.
