    How we got 120 g

    Spooned & leveled; King Arthur lists its Unbleached Cake Flour at 1 cup = 4 1/4 oz = 120 g. Site uses the King Arthur figure because US home recipes assume flour spooned into the cup and leveled, which is how King Arthur weighs it; USDA's cup weight is typically higher (dipped/unspecified method).

    • USDA FDC SR Legacy 169723 (cup unsifted, dipped): 137 g per cup

    Fine, soft flour packs easily; USDA's 137 g is explicitly 'unsifted, dipped'. Sifted cake flour weighs noticeably less than spooned.
