Where 337 g comes from
USDA FoodData Central: 1 cup of “Molasses” = 337 g. FDC 168820
King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (“Molasses”): 340 g per cup. Chart
This page uses 337 g (USDA). The two sources differ by 3 g (0.89%): that gap is about how firmly the cup is filled, not an error in either.
Molasses weighs 337 g a cup in USDA's data and King Arthur's ¼ cup at 85 g works out to 340 g. In the UK, black treacle is the closest match.
How to measure molasses by the cup
Use a liquid measuring jug on a flat surface and read the line at eye level, or weigh it: for liquids a scale is just as quick.
In the UK and Australia: black treacle. Metric cups there hold 250 ml, so a metric cup of molasses weighs about 356 g.
