1 cup of mayonnaise weighs 224 grams. Mayonnaise is used in both cooking and baking — in cakes and muffins it adds fat and moisture, and the volume can significantly affect the result. Light or reduced-fat mayonnaise has a higher water content and weighs slightly less per cup; use the same brand and style the recipe specifies.

For the most accurate results, weigh your mayonnaise with a digital kitchen scale — the values below assume a level, unpacked cup.

Practical baking & cooking tips for mayonnaise

  • Weighing directly into your mixing bowl on a tare-zeroed scale avoids greasy measuring cups.
  • Full-fat real mayonnaise contains 70–80% oil; light mayonnaise contains modified food starch and water that behave differently in hot dishes.
  • Use real mayonnaise to sear grilled cheese sandwiches—its high smoke point browns bread more evenly than butter.

Common mistakes to avoid with mayonnaise

  • Confusing light mayonnaise with regular in baking — the water content differs, which affects moisture in cakes and dressings.
  • Adding mayonnaise to hot dishes directly from the jar, causing it to split rather than emulsify.
  • Overmixing mayonnaise into batters, which can make the result greasy rather than moist.
