Yes 16 tbsp equal 1 cup.

When measuring out 1 cup of ingredients and your recipe calls for 1 cup of those ingredients you can use tablespoon measurements instead.

Just scoop up 16 tbsp of the ingredients and add them to the recipe or to a cup and you'll have 1 cup of those ingredients.

If you need half a cup of those same ingredients or half a cup of ingredients then you would use 8 tbsp to make 1/2 cup.

Since 1/2 of 16 is 8 you would need 8 tbsp to equal 1/2 a cup and you would need 16 tbsp to equal one cup of ingredients.

It makes it so much easier to have measuring cups as well as measuring spoons especially if you plan to bake or cook a lot.
