Butter — Pounds in Cups
1 pound of butter equals 2 ( ~ 2) cups*
About butter measurements
A solid stick of butter has a density near 0.96 g/ml, so a US cup, or two sticks, is about 226 g. Whipped butter is a different animal: it is beaten with air and can occupy 30–40% more volume, meaning a whipped cup falls well short of a solid one by weight.
