Density Variance

Weight Beats Volume

A cup of flour weighs 125g, while a cup of granulated sugar weighs 200g. Density differences mean 1 cup cannot have a single fixed weight.

Flour Technique

Spoon & Level Method

Scooping directly from the bag packs flour down by up to 25% (150g+ per cup), causing dry, dense cakes and bread. Spoon into the cup and level off.

Convection Adjustment

Reduce Fan Temp by 20°C / 25°F

Fan-forced ovens circulate air more efficiently. When baking with convection, reduce standard recipe temperatures by 20°C (25°F).
