Oh, you want to bake multiple cups? Living dangerously, I like it. Let’s scale up together.
For 2 cups, you’ll need eight 1/4 cups. That’s just double our original count. For 3 cups, you need twelve. For a full, glorious 4 cups (which is a quart), you’d need sixteen of those little guys.

Pro tip: At that point, just grab a bigger measuring cup. Your arm will thank you. Your patience will, too.
What About Dry vs. Wet Ingredients?
Great question, my curious friend. For dry ingredients like flour or sugar, you spoon it into the 1/4 cup, then level it off with a knife. Don’t pack it down like you’re building a snow fort.
For wet ingredients like milk or oil, fill the 1/4 cup to the very brim. Use those liquid measuring cups if you have them—they have a little spout. Otherwise, just fill and pour carefully.
The number is still four, no matter the ingredient. Physics doesn’t care if it’s liquid or solid. It just cares about volume.
