Metric cups and other cup sizes
The figures above use the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of cake flour weighs about 122 grams. UK recipes that say "cup" usually mean a 250 ml metric cup, which is why weighing in grams is more reliable than measuring by volume.
Measuring cake flour accurately
Cake flour is very finely milled and prone to severe compaction if scooped directly from the bag. Sift it first, then spoon it gently into the measuring cup and level the surface. Because it is so light, relying on a kitchen scale prevents accidentally adding too much flour.
