Measuring Tip
For the most consistent results, weigh cake flour on a kitchen scale. Volume measurements can vary by 20-30% depending on how the flour is scooped.
Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

The most accurate way is to weigh cake flour on a kitchen scale. If you are measuring by volume, sift or whisk the flour first to break up clumps, then spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off. Do not scoop directly from the bag, which compacts the flour and can increase the weight by 20-30%.
Close, but not exactly. The cups to grams conversion for cake flour may vary slightly between brands depending on moisture content and how the ingredient is measured.
Weighing is more consistent than volume measuring. A cup of cake flour can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's scooped, packed, or leveled. Weighing gives the same result every time, which is especially important in baking where precision affects texture and rise.
