🎯 Why Accurate Flour Measurement Matters

Flour is the trickiest ingredient to measure! Too much makes things dense and dry. Too little makes them flat and soggy. The difference? Just 20-30 grams.

Too Much Flour

Dense, dry texture. Cakes don't rise properly. Cookies are hard.

Just Right

Light, fluffy texture. Everything rises beautifully. Perfect crumb!

Too Little Flour

Spreads too much. Can be gummy. Might collapse in the middle.

Tip: The Solution: Use a kitchen scale! Grams are much more accurate than cups.

Flour Conversion: Common Questions

How many cups is 100g flour?

100g all-purpose flour = 0.8 cups

That's about ¾ cup + 1 tablespoon. This is one of the most common conversions in baking!

Why do different flours have different conversions?

Different flours weigh different amounts per cup because they have different densities:

  • All-purpose: 125g/cup (medium density)
  • Bread flour: 130g/cup (heavier, more protein)
  • Cake flour: 115g/cup (lighter, more air pockets)

Learn more in our flour types guide.

What's the difference between King Arthur and regular flour measurements?

King Arthur uses 120g per cup as their standard (instead of the usual 125g). This affects all their recipes and conversions.

Tip: Always check which standard your recipe uses! If a recipe is from King Arthur, use their 120g/cup conversion.

Should I pack or sift flour when converting?

Neither! The conversions above assume spooned and leveled flour, which is the standard method:

  1. Fluff the flour with a spoon
  2. Spoon it into the measuring cup
  3. Level off with a straight edge

Never scoop directly from the bag—this packs the flour and adds 20-30% more weight!
