How to Measure Vegetable Oil Correctly

Oil makes cakes and muffins more moist than butter because it remains liquid at room temperature.
For the most accurate measurement, pour oil into a liquid measuring cup and read at eye level.
490g of vegetable oil is about 2 1/4 cups using Spoon & Level. For consistency, stick to one measuring method across the whole recipe.
Why Cup-to-Grams Accuracy Matters for Vegetable Oil
Small cup changes create big weight differences. For vegetable oil, 2 1/4 cups is about 490g, but just 1/4 cup more jumps to 544g.
