Whipped Cream
Whipped cream weighs only about 60g per cup because it is mostly air. This makes volume measurements unreliable. When a recipe calls for whipped cream by the cup, it typically means already-whipped cream, not liquid heavy cream. One cup of heavy cream produces about two cups of whipped cream. For stable whipped cream, add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and half a teaspoon of vanilla per cup of liquid cream. Chill your bowl and whisk before whipping for best volume.

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.
