Flour is the trickiest ingredient to measure by volume because technique dramatically changes the weight that fits in a cup:
120–125g per cup
Professional standard: spoon flour into the cup, level with a knife.
140g per cup
Scooping directly compacts flour and adds up to 20g per cup.
110g per cup
Aerated flour for delicate cakes and pastries.
Why it matters: a 20g difference per cup can be the gap between a fluffy cake and a dense brick. For best accuracy, weigh flour in grams with a digital scale.
