40 grams to cups depends on the ingredient

40 grams to cups has no single answer, because grams measure weight and cups measure volume. 40 g is 1.41 oz by weight.

40 g of four common ingredients (US cups)
IngredientCupsMeasure
Water 0.17 2½ tbsp
All-purpose flour 0.32 ¼ cup + 1 tbsp

Of the 46 ingredients, 40 g fills the most cups as rolled oats (⅓ cup + 2½ tbsp) and the fewest as honey (2 tbsp).

40 g lands exactly on a cup mark for powdered sugar (⅓ cup), bread flour (⅓ cup), cake flour (⅓ cup) and whole wheat flour (⅓ cup), so one cup measure does it with no spoons.

For 28 of the 46 ingredients, 40 g is under ¼ cup, so those are measured with spoons. 40 g of all-purpose flour is 3 tbsp less than ½ cup.
