Is 250g of heavy cream the same as 250g of all-purpose flour?

No. 250g of heavy cream is 1 cup, while 250g of all-purpose flour is 2 cups. Same weight on the scale, different volume in the cup, because the two have different densities.

Weighing is more accurate, especially in baking, because it removes the variation in how the heavy cream is packed into the cup. If you have no scale, use the cup figure above and keep your measuring method consistent across the whole recipe.
