300 g of heavy cream in cups
300 g ≈ 1.26 cups
That is also 20.2 tablespoons, at 238 g per US cup.
How to measure it
1¼ cups + ½ teaspoon
1.26 cups is a number, not an instruction — there is no 1.26 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 300 g.
Spoon the heavy cream 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
Denser than milk in the cup despite being higher in fat, because it holds less air than whipped cream.
This page uses 238 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 300 g of heavy cream?
1.26 cups, which in measuring cups and spoons is 1¼ cups + ½ teaspoon. One US cup of heavy cream weighs about 238 g.
How do I measure 300 g of heavy cream without scales?
1¼ cups + ½ teaspoon. Spoon it in and level the top rather than scooping — scooping compacts heavy cream 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 heavy cream weighs about 251 g. These pages use the US cup.
