Measuring cake flour
USDA dipped the cup into the flour. Spooning and leveling gives about 120 g.
These weights are for cake flour (unsifted, dipped). A different form, or a cup filled another way, weighs differently, so weigh it if the recipe gives grams.
The King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart gives 120 g per cup. USDA measured a dipped cup; spooned cups are lighter. We use the USDA figure throughout.
