Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the same number of grams give different cup amounts?
Because ingredients have different densities. 100g of flour is about 0.8 cups, but 100g of sugar is only about 0.5 cups. Flour is lighter and takes up more volume per gram.
How many grams is 1 cup of flour?
One cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 125 grams. Whole wheat flour is slightly heavier at about 130g per cup. Cake flour is lighter at about 115g per cup.
Should I use grams or cups for baking?
Professional bakers prefer grams because it's more precise and consistent. If a recipe provides both, use grams. A kitchen scale is an inexpensive investment that improves baking results significantly.
