Coconut Oil
Coconut oil weighs 218g per cup in its melted liquid state. At room temperature it is solid, which makes measuring in cups less reliable. For baking accuracy, melt coconut oil first and measure by volume, or better yet, weigh it. Refined coconut oil has no coconut flavor, while virgin coconut oil adds a subtle coconut taste.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
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.
