Quick Answer about "How would I measure Bouillon Cubes compared to the actual powder"
Bouillon cubes are pre-measured, so you know exactly how much bouillon you're using -- typically 1 teaspoon. Granules, on the other hand, must be measured out, but you can add exactly the amount you want, whether that's 1/4 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon.How much powder bouillon equals a cube?
On the label of the container containing the chicken buillion powder, it is stated that 2 teaspoons should be used for every 2 cups of water while making broth. This means that one tablespoon of powdered bouillon is equal to one cube.Is a bouillon cube equal to a teaspoon?
The bouillon cubes I use (Wyler's) states on the jar that one cube makes ONE cup of broth. Crushed one to see how it measured up and it came to one teaspoon. Also the reliable sources I've checked all say one cube = 1 teaspoon (tsp).How do you substitute bouillon cubes for bouillon granules?

Answer 2
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. :)
