How many grams is one tablespoon of vanilla extract?
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract ≈ 13 g
One teaspoon of vanilla extract weighs about 4.33 grams and one tablespoon is about 13 grams, so one tablespoon comes out to roughly 13 grams. Vanilla extract is mostly alcohol and water, so it weighs a little less than plain water.
Small spoon amounts are where weighing has the biggest payoff: tiny errors compound in baking. If your scale reads in 1-gram steps you can measure vanilla extract directly. (For reference, one US cup is 208 g.)
