How much does a cup of Nutella weigh?

Question

I want to make Nutella cookies. I've found a recipe for it, but it's in volume measurements. It asks for a cup of Nutella and I don't own a cup.

I tried searching my regular converters, but the only one with a hit was Wolfram-Alpha and I've noticed this result can be quite wrong.

Is anybody kind enough to weigh a cup of Nutella? Or do you use a converter that knows the weight of a cup of Nutella?

Note: I do own a tablespoon measure, so if nobody knows, I'll just scoop out some and calculate it myself. And post it as an answer of course.

According to the nutella nutritional fact label, 1 tbsp = 19g.

There are 16 tbsp in a cup so 16 * 19g = 304g

I actually measured and weighed a cup of Nutella and I got 290g. Of course we have to take into consideration my 1 cup measurement (I'm pretty sure they are not exactly the same) and my scale. But it just shows that the 300g mark is not far off.

On my Nutella jar it says that 2 tablespoons of the deliciousness is 37 grams. So, 37x8= 296 grams of Nutella is one cup.

Here's my trick for measuring sticky, dense things like Nutella: Take whatever liquid you're using and measure an amount, like 1 cup. add the Nutella to the liquid and the level will rise to the measurement you need. For example, if I need 1/2 cup of Nutella and there is milk in my recipe, I'll put 1 cup of milk on my measuring cup, add enough Nutella to bring the combined volume to 1.5 cups. Makes cleaning easier too.

I estimated that 1 cup of nutella is around 294 grams:

I bought a jar of 350 grams of nutella, used a marker to indicate the nutella level of the jar. Emptied it (I was gonna use it for cookies anyway adjusting the recipe to just one 1 jar).

After cleaning the jar out. I put it on a scale and filled with water. In went 282 grams of water = 282 milliliter of water = 1.19 cups of water.

The 350 grams of Nutella in the jar was 1.19 cups -> Ergo: 1 cup of Nutella = 350/1.19 = 294 grams.

Note 1: The = sign should be interpreted as "equals about"
Note 2: Who would write a recipe needing a cup of nutella, it is almost impossible to measure it.

Nutella is a bit specialised for most online converters, but butter is virtually the same density, and a cup of that weighs 238g. I wouldn't think you'd go far wrong with that.

In my research I found my answer to my question. A 13 oz jar of Nutella is equivalent to 1.6 cups for persons that use volume measurements. I used 1 cup 6 oz. Hope this helps somebody:) Fredsmom

The density of Nutella is 1.2g/ml. Therefore 300grams is equal to 250ml.

The recipe I saw asking for Nutella cookies measured by cup specified 'using dry measuring cup rather than the one used for liquids'. I live in (non-UK) Europe where we routinely do everything by grams and deciliters subsituting weight for volume and the normal substitution would be around 235-250 ml more or less depending on weight per volume
