Baking Conversion FAQ
Everything you need to know about converting baking measurements and scaling recipes accurately.
One cup of all-purpose flour typically weighs 120 grams. However, this can vary slightly based on how the flour is scooped and packed. For the most accurate baking results, we recommend using a digital kitchen scale.
Fluid ounces (fl oz) measure volume (how much space a liquid takes up), while weight ounces (oz) measure mass (how heavy an ingredient is). For water, 1 fluid ounce weighs approximately 1 weight ounce, but this differs significantly for ingredients like flour or sugar.
To scale a recipe, multiply or divide all ingredient quantities by the same factor. For example, to halve a recipe, divide every ingredient amount by 2. Using weight measurements (grams) instead of volume (cups) makes scaling much more accurate and reliable.
Weight measurements (grams) are far more accurate than volume measurements (cups). A cup of flour can vary in weight by up to 20% depending on how it is scooped, whereas 120 grams of flour is always exactly 120 grams, ensuring consistent baking results every time.
