How to convert ounces of cake flour to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 12 oz = 340 g. One US cup of cake flour weighs 114 g, so 340 ÷ 114 = 2.98 cups.
Spoon flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add 20–30% more.
