baking flour
- All-Purpose Flour Spooned and leveled. 1 US cup of all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams when scooped gently with a spoon and leveled across the top with a flat edge. Sifting drops the figure to 113g; scooping the cup directly into the bag pushes it to 150g.
- Almond Flour Blanched, finely ground almond flour. 1 US cup weighs 96 grams. Almond meal (with the skins, coarser grind) is heavier per cup, around 110g, because the skins fill less air space.
- Bread Flour Spooned and leveled. 1 US cup of bread flour weighs 120 grams. Bread flour is slightly less dense per cup than all-purpose because the higher protein content produces a slightly larger, more irregular particle that traps a bit more air.
- Buckwheat Flour Spooned and leveled. 1 US cup weighs 120 grams. Buckwheat is gluten-free despite being called a flour.
- Cake Flour Sifted and spooned. 1 US cup of cake flour weighs 120 grams. Cake flour is finer and softer than all-purpose, with a protein content around 7 to 9 percent.
- Coconut Flour Defatted coconut flour. 1 US cup weighs 112 grams. Highly absorbent: a teaspoon swells to many times its dry volume in liquid.
- Rye Flour Spooned and leveled medium rye. 1 US cup weighs 102 grams. Pumpernickel (whole rye, coarse grind) runs slightly heavier at around 113g per cup.
- Self-Rising Flour Spooned and leveled. 1 US cup weighs 125 grams. Includes 1.5 teaspoons baking powder and 0.5 teaspoon salt per cup, baked in.
- Semolina Spooned and leveled fine semolina. 1 US cup weighs 167 grams. Coarser grades for couscous and gnocchi run lighter per cup.
- Whole Wheat Flour Spooned and leveled. 1 US cup of whole wheat flour weighs 113 grams. Less dense than all-purpose because the bran fragments interrupt close packing.
