How to Measure Cake Flour in Cups
Cake flour is the most delicate of all baking flours — it clumps and compacts very easily. For the most accurate results, sift the flour first, then spoon it gently into your measuring cup and level with a straight edge. This method yields a consistent 114 grams per cup.
Using too much cake flour makes cakes dense and dry, while too little can cause them to collapse. Use the calculator above to convert cups to grams and eliminate the guesswork from your cake recipes.
Pro tip: Many professional bakers sift cake flour twice before measuring. This aerates the flour fully and produces the lightest, most tender crumb in layer cakes and sponges.
