Why Weigh Cake Flour in Grams?
When a recipe calls for 1 cups of cake flour, using a kitchen scale to measure exactly 114 grams will give you far more consistent results than volume measurement alone. This is because cake flour can be packed, sifted, or scooped differently each time, leading to weight variations of up to 20%.
How to Measure Cake Flour by Weight
Place your mixing bowl on a digital kitchen scale and press "tare" to zero it out. Then add cake flour until the scale reads 114g. This method is faster than measuring cups and eliminates the guesswork entirely.
Also Known As
Cake Flour is sometimes referred to as soft flour. The same conversion of 114g per cup applies regardless of the name used.
