Why Cup-to-Grams Accuracy Matters for Cake Flour

Small cup changes create big weight differences. For cake flour, 3 3/4 cups is about 414g, but just 1/4 cup more jumps to 442g.

This is why cup-based recipes can drift: packed, loose, or sifted volume can shift your actual grams. Using grams keeps hydration and texture consistent across batches.
