Explanation
Use this page when a recipe gives cake flour in cups and you need a repeatable gram target. The converter keeps the assumption explicit: 1 level US cup of cake flour = 120 grams.
That makes recipe scaling easier without switching between inconsistent cup charts. The page stays anchored to the US cup standard (236.588 mL). This basis assumes the common spoon-and-level method, where flour is spooned into the cup and leveled rather than packed down.
