Measuring tips
USDA weighs a cup of all-purpose flour at 125 g. If you scoop straight from the bag a cup can weigh 140–150 g; spooning the flour into the cup and leveling it off gets you close to 125 g. That difference is why baking by weight is more reliable.
Fluff it up, spoon it into the cup without shaking or tapping, then level the top with a knife.
Scooped straight from the bag, a cup of all-purpose flour packs 140–150 g — up to 20% more than the spooned-and-levelled 125 g. That alone can make a cake dry or a dough stiff.
Other charts disagree a little: King Arthur Baking uses 120 g per cup of flour, against USDA’s 125 g. Neither is wrong — it depends on how the cup is filled — but if a recipe gives grams, weigh.
