Frequently asked questions

How many grams is 2 1/2 cups of cake flour?

2 1/2 cups of cake flour is 285 grams, based on 114 g per level US cup.

Is it different with a UK or Australian cup?

Slightly. UK, Australian and New Zealand recipes use a 250 ml metric cup, which is about 6% bigger than a US cup (236.6 ml). Using a metric cup, 2 1/2 cups of cake flour would be 301 g.

Should I weigh cake flour or measure it by volume?
