Baking Made Easy: How to Measure Ingredients by Weight

When you bake, knowing how to change measurements from volume (like cups) to weight (like grams) can make a big difference. Here’s how to do it simply:

1. Get a Kitchen Scale: First, it’s a good idea to buy a kitchen scale. It’s important for measuring accurately. Plus, it makes baking a lot easier!

2. Learn Conversion Rates: Different ingredients weigh different amounts. For example:

   • 1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 120 grams.
   • 1 cup of sugar weighs around 200 grams.

3. Use a Simple Formula: You can use this easy formula to help you:

   • Weight (grams) = Volume (cups) × Density (grams per cup).

Measuring ingredients by weight helps you be more consistent. And in the end, that means your baked goods will taste better! Happy baking!
