Important note about cup measurements: A cup measures volume, not weight. Every ingredient has a different density, so the gram value per cup varies. Always select the correct ingredient — flour and sugar look similar in a cup but weigh very differently (125g vs 200g per cup). For precision baking, use kitchen scales.

Flours

Values for flour assume spooned lightly into the cup and levelled — not scooped. Scooping can add 20–30% extra weight.
