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 heavy cream weighs about 251 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 heavy cream accurately
Pour heavy cream into a liquid measuring cup resting on a flat surface and check the volume at eye level. Cream is thicker than milk, so let it settle for a moment before reading the line. For precise custards or ice creams, weighing the cream in grams is preferable.
