Baking Powder

cups → ounces

Baking powder weighs 230g per cup, though it is almost always measured in teaspoons (1 tsp = 4.8g). The standard ratio is 1 to 1.5 teaspoons per cup of flour. Baking powder loses potency after opening. Test by adding 1 teaspoon to 1/3 cup hot water — it should bubble vigorously. Replace every 6-12 months.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS

READ TIME · 2 MIN

If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.

A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.

Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.

The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
