Why weigh cake flour instead of measuring cups?

A cup measures volume, but recipes really care about how much cake flour you add by weight. One US cup of cake flour is taken as 120 g here, cited from King Arthur Baking, and every conversion on this page routes through that figure. Volume-to-volume and weight-to-weight steps are exact, but the cup→gram crossing depends on how the cake flour is packed, so a kitchen scale is the reliable way to hit the same result every time.

FAQ

How many grams are in a cup of cake flour?

One US cup of cake flour weighs about 120 g (source: King Arthur Baking). Because a cup measures volume, the exact weight shifts a little with how you fill it, so treat this as ±5% and weigh for precision.

How many grams are in a tablespoon of cake flour?

One tablespoon of cake flour is about 7.5 g, and one teaspoon about 2.5 g, since a US cup is exactly 16 tablespoons (48 teaspoons).

How much is 100 g of cake flour in cups?

100 g of cake flour is about 0.833 cups. Use the converter above for any other weight — it works in both directions.

Is the cup-to-gram figure for cake flour exact?

The cup weight is a cited reference (King Arthur Baking); volume↔volume and weight↔weight conversions on this page are exact, but the cup→gram step depends on packing, humidity and brand, so it is best treated as ±5%. A kitchen scale removes the guesswork.
