Cake Flour: US Cups to Grams (g) & Ounces (oz) Conversion
Convert volumes of cake flour measured in US cups to its approximate weight in metric grams (g) and imperial/US ounces (oz). Cake flour is finer and lighter than all-purpose flour, yielding more tender baked goods.

Important Considerations for Cake Flour:
The weight of 1 US cup of cake flour is typically around **110-115 grams per cup** (approx. 3.9-4.0 ounces) when using the "spoon and level" method and often sifted as per recipe instructions. It's lighter than all-purpose flour.
Always follow recipe instructions for sifting cake flour, as this affects its volume and thus its weight per cup if measured by volume.
For the most delicate and consistent cakes and pastries, **measuring cake flour by weight (grams or ounces) with a kitchen scale is highly recommended.**
