How to Measure Flour

Step 5 Check your success!

How do we know this has worked?

Check the weight!

As we said, a properly measured cup of flour should weigh 120 grams.

Check out how much extra flour is left over from the originally scooped cup

It's important to remember that not all flour is created equal.

• One cup of white flour weighs 120 grams.
• One cup of whole wheat flour weighs 140 grams.
• One cup of bread flour weighs 130 grams.
• One cup of cake flour weighs 114 grams.

Use this technique for success in measuring all of your dried goods - but remember, their weights may vary.

this will help my Yorkshire Puddings which have been rather heavy lately and not rising as high as previously.  I am now sure it was this 120gm vs. 150gm difference!
Thanks for the excellent visual evidence!

Good info! I shall remember this - fluffy flour, not packed. Check.
