Understanding Ingredient Densities

Different ingredients have different densities, which is why 1 cup of flour doesn't weigh the same as 1 cup of sugar. The values below are based on properly measured ingredients (spooned and leveled for dry goods). Packed ingredients like brown sugar have higher values because they're compressed.

Tips for Accurate Measuring

Measuring Flour

Spoon flour into the measuring cup and level with a knife. Don't scoop directly from the bag or pack it down, as this can add up to 30% more flour.

Measuring Sugar

Granulated sugar can be scooped and leveled. Brown sugar should be firmly packed into the cup - it should hold its shape when turned out.

Measuring Liquids

Use a liquid measuring cup and read at eye level. Place the cup on a flat surface and bend down to read the meniscus (bottom curve) of the liquid.

Use Weight When Possible

For the most accurate baking, use a digital kitchen scale. Weight measurements eliminate variations in how ingredients are packed or scooped.
