Orange Juice
Orange juice weighs 248g per cup, slightly heavier than water due to its sugar content. Freshly squeezed juice has a brighter flavor than store-bought. One medium orange yields about 1/4 cup of juice. In baking, orange juice adds moisture and a citrus note to cakes, glazes, and muffins. The acidity reacts with baking soda. Measure at room temperature for consistent density. Store fresh juice in the refrigerator and use within three days.

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.
