Cake Flour: Grams to Cups

Convert grams of cake flour to cups instantly. 1 US cup = 114g (spoon & level). Cake flour is finer and lighter than all-purpose flour, with lower protein content that produces a more tender, delicate crumb.

Cake flour is milled from soft wheat to an ultra-fine texture and is bleached to weaken the starch, producing the most tender crumb of any wheat flour. At 114g per cup, it is 11g lighter than all-purpose flour — a difference that matters in delicate recipes.

Cake Flour — Frequently Asked Questions

114 grams of cake flour is exactly 1 US cup using the spoon-and-level method. Cake flour is lighter than all-purpose flour (125g/cup) due to its ultra-fine milling and soft wheat base.
Yes, but use 114g of cake flour for every 125g of all-purpose flour the recipe calls for (or by cup: use 1 cup + 2 tablespoons cake flour for every 1 cup all-purpose). The result will be more tender and delicate.
Yes. For every 114g (1 cup) of cake flour needed: measure 100g of all-purpose flour, remove 2 tablespoons, and replace with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Sift together three times to fully incorporate.
Cake flour is milled from soft wheat to an extremely fine particle size. This fine grind traps more air, making it less dense. Result: 114g per cup vs 125g for all-purpose flour.
Cake flour has 7-9% protein content compared to 10-12% for all-purpose flour. Lower protein means less gluten development, producing a more tender, delicate, fine crumb in cakes and cupcakes.
Cake flour is bleached, which slightly weakens the starch and improves the flour's ability to hold fat and sugar. This produces a finer crumb but very little noticeable flavour difference vs unbleached all-purpose flour.
