That is also 20 tablespoons, at 100 g per US cup.
How to measure it
1¼ cups
1.25 cups is a number, not an instruction — there is no 1.25 cup in the drawer. The line above is the same quantity in the sizes you actually own, and following it lands within a teaspoon of 125 g.
Spoon the grated parmesan into the cup and level it off. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down; on flour that alone is worth about 20%, which is more than the difference this page is measuring.

Why this number moves
Finely grated packs tighter than coarsely grated; the difference can be 30% in a cup.
This page uses 100 g per US cup. If your recipe came with its own figure, use theirs — internal consistency matters more than which table is right.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 125 g of grated parmesan?
1.25 cups, which in measuring cups and spoons is 1¼ cups. One US cup of grated parmesan weighs about 100 g.
How do I measure 125 g of grated parmesan without scales?
1¼ cups. Spoon it in and level the top rather than scooping — scooping compacts grated parmesan and can add a fifth to the weight.
Is this the same in the UK?
The gram figure is, the cup is not. A US cup is 236.6 ml and the metric cup used in Australia and much of Europe is 250 ml, so a European cup of grated parmesan weighs about 106 g. These pages use the US cup.
