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 whole wheat flour weighs about 135 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 whole wheat flour accurately
Whole wheat flour compacts easily, so spoon it gently into your measuring cup and level the top with a straight edge. Weighing this ingredient on a kitchen scale gives you the most reliable results every time. Humidity can change how much flour fits in a cup, making grams the safer choice.
