Cake Flour: mL to Grams and Grams to mL
If a recipe lists cake flour in mL and your scale reads grams, the short answer is that 100 mL of cake flour weighs about 48 g. Cake flour is lighter than water, so the two numbers are never the same.
The Formula
mL to grams: Weight (g) = Volume (mL) × 0.48
Grams to mL: Volume (mL) = Weight (g) ÷ 0.48
Worked Examples
- 15 mL of cake flour = 7.2 g
- 250 mL of cake flour = 120 g
- 200 g of cake flour = 416.7 mL
Common Kitchen Measures
- 1 teaspoon (4.93 mL) = 2.4 g
- 1 tablespoon (14.79 mL) = 7.1 g
- 1/4 cup (59.1 mL) = 28.4 g
- 1/2 cup (118.3 mL) = 56.8 g
- 1 cup (236.6 mL) = 113.6 g
Why Cake Flour Weighs What It Does
Cake flour is milled finer and is lower in protein, so it packs loosely. Its density is about 0.48 g per mL, one of the lightest of the common wheat flours.
Measuring Tips
Cake flour is often sifted, and sifting adds air. A sifted cup weighs less than a spooned cup, so weigh it instead.
