Is there a standard measurement that can be used?

There are so many types of both... so I'd choose a general workaround (see the answer). Considered downvoting the question but didn't. – Tobias Op Den Brouw Aug 19 '10 at 10:05

The bouillon cubes I am familiar with are equal to 1 teaspoon of powder.

I'd figure it backwards. You need x amount of Bouillon. You can see (from the specific powder AND the specific cubes) how much you'll need of each to make that x amount.

Then calculate the ratio based on those numbers.

Then cook, and discover there's a taste difference, and correct accordingly. :)

Generally, they tell you that one cube should be combined with X cups of water. Powdered boullion is 1 teaspoon per cup, usually. If a boullion cube says to dissolve in 2 cups of water, then it's the equivalent of two teaspoons. – Martha F. Aug 19 '10 at 16:09
