Understanding Cake Flour Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
To convert 1 gram of cake flour to metric cup, we divide by the density (0.48 g/ml). First, 1g ÷ 0.48 g/ml = 2.1ml. Then, dividing by the metric cup volume (250ml): 2.1ml ÷ 250ml = 0 metric cup.
Measurement Tip
For accurate cake flour measurements, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it with a straight edge. Never scoop directly from the bag—this compacts the flour and can give you up to 30% more than intended, which will make your baked goods dense and dry.
