Flour Grams to Cups

One cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams when measured with the spoon-and-level method. Flour is the ingredient where volume measuring goes wrong most often — scooping straight from the bag packs the flour and can add 30% more than the recipe intends.

To measure flour by cups accurately: fluff the flour, spoon it into the cup without packing, and level the top with a straight edge. Different flours differ too — cake flour is lighter (about 114g per cup) and whole wheat slightly heavier (130g). For consistent baking, a kitchen scale beats any cup.
