Baking quick questions

I've promised the kids flapjack for pudding after dinner tonight but my scales have given up on me.

I'm scouring the web but just can't find the help I need,so thought you trusty lot would be kind enough to come to the rescue!

I need to use 225 grams of treacle, what would this convert to in tablespoons?

I think I can work the rest out myself.

Thanks to anyone that helps

According to the nutritional info on the tin, 139 g= 100 mL

So you need approx. 160 mL of treacle to get 225 g

Hope that helps!

As near as I can find and it's not very clear in any of the conversion charts 225g = half a pound i.e 8oz. 1 american cup is = to 8 oz. If you have a measuring jug try measuring out 8fl oz of treacle or if you have cup measures 1 cup should be the same as 8oz.

15 tbsps according to my friend google.

On the jar of Morrisons that I have in the cupboard it says 1 tablespoon is 21 grams if that's any help, so about 10 to 11 tablespoons, fairly level ones I think.

Thanks everyone!
I used a american cup set I have (for the first time since I got it four years ago!)

Thriftytwosome, why did I not think of looking on the jar!

Hi, Last week I tried some cupcakes and the frosting/icing on it was extremely light, almost like mousse. It was gorgeous. It was like nothing I've made before, does anyone know what sort of frosting/icing this would be called? All the cupcake buttercream recipes I have tried before have been nothing like this and much heavier.
Any advice would be appreciated
