Convert centiliters ⇄ US cups
Formula: 25 cl × 10 ÷ 236.588 = 1.0567 US cups
How the cl to cups conversion works
The conversion uses the US cup of 236.588 ml: cups = centilitres × 10 ÷ 236.588, so 1 cl is 0.04227 US cups. Going the other way, centilitres = cups × 236.588 ÷ 10, so 1 US cup is 23.6588 cl.
Worked example: a recipe calling for 25 cl of cream needs 25 × 10 ÷ 236.588 = 1.0568 US cups. And 2 US cups of stock is 2 × 236.588 ÷ 10 = 47.32 cl.
Handy benchmarks: 10 cl ≈ 0.42 cups, 25 cl ≈ 1.06 cups, 50 cl ≈ 2.11 cups and 75 cl ≈ 3.17 cups. For the pure metric step, see our centiliters to ml converter, and for the larger metric unit see deciliters to cups.
