Cooking tip
American recipes often measure flour and sugar in cups, which are a volume and not a weight. A cup of flour weighs around 120 to 130 grams, while a cup of sugar is about 200 grams. For baking, weighing ingredients on a kitchen scale is far more reliable. Use our volume converter for liquids.
