How Much Is 1.4 Tablespoons of Cake Flour in Ounces?
1.4 tablespoons of cake flour weighs 0.35 oz. This is based on cake flour having a density of 114g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1.4 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.4 tablespoons of cake flour
- 1 tablespoon of cake flour = 7.13g
- 1.4 × 7.13 = 9.98g
- Convert grams to ounces: 9.98 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.35 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Humidity affects cake flour weight. In humid conditions, flour absorbs moisture and weighs more per cup. Store it in an airtight container for consistent results.

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
