Frequently Asked Questions
Why do baking conversions vary by ingredient?
Different ingredients have different densities. One cup of flour weighs about 120 grams, while one cup of sugar weighs about 200 grams. This is why professional bakers prefer measuring by weight.
How do I measure flour correctly in cups?
Spoon flour into the measuring cup and level off with a knife. Do not scoop directly from the bag, as this packs the flour and you'll get more than intended (up to 150g per cup instead of 120g).
Is it better to bake by weight or volume?
Weight (grams) is always more accurate and consistent for baking. Volume measurements like cups can vary depending on how the ingredient is packed. For the most consistent results, always use a kitchen scale.
