Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams are in 1 cup of Cake Flour?
One US cup of Cake Flour weighs approximately 113g. This is the standard reference weight used by King Arthur Baking and the USDA. Use a kitchen scale for the most accurate measurement; volume measurement can vary by 5-10% depending on how you scoop.
Why does sifting change the gram weight of Cake Flour?
Sifting aerates Cake Flour, separating clumps and increasing volume. The result: a sifted cup weighs less than an unsifted cup of the same ingredient. For accurate baking, weighing Cake Flour on a scale (113g/cup unsifted) is more reliable than measuring by volume.
Should I use a scale or measuring cups for Cake Flour?
A digital kitchen scale is more accurate than measuring cups for Cake Flour. Volume measurement varies by how you scoop or pack the cup, while weight is consistent. For recipes where precision matters (especially baking), weighing Cake Flour at 113g per cup gives the most reliable result.
