Understanding Baking Conversions
⚖️Why Weight is More Accurate
Volume measurements (cups) are notoriously inaccurate for compressible ingredients like flour. Depending on how you scoop, 1 cup of flour can weigh between 120g (sifted) and 170g (packed).
Professional bakers always use weight (grams) because it guarantees the same amount of ingredient every time, resulting in consistent cookies, cakes, and breads.
📊Common Ingredient Densities
- All-Purpose Flour (1 cup)120g
- Granulated Sugar (1 cup)200g
- Brown Sugar, Packed (1 cup)213g
- Butter (1 cup / 2 sticks)227g
Tips for Perfection
Use a Scale
A $15 digital kitchen scale is the best investment you can make for better baking.
Dip & Sweep
If using cups, fluff the flour, dip the cup in, and level with a knife. Never pack it down.
Room Temp
Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature unless the recipe specifies otherwise.
