Fast Help... 12Oz Cake Flour = How Many Cups?
Baking By dm321 Updated 30 Jul 2010 , 1:17am by anxietyattack
Between all my books and all the different websites online - I'm getting some contradictory info, or at least some very confusing info...
The sad thing is - it's not that hard. I'm just second guessing myself now after looking at so many different conversion charts.
Anyone have a firm answer?
thanks in advance!

Do you have a digital scale to weigh yourself? If so, step on the scale holding an empty cup. Now fill the cup to what you think is close and weigh yourself holding the cup again.
I'm afraid I weigh 
way too many cups to get an accurate measurement like that! 
he he!

Definatley weigh your ingredients, Much more accurate than using cups.
4 oz of flour, both ap and cake flour, equal one cup (according to King Arthur Flour). All ingredients should be weighed for accuracy because the size of cups do vary.
I usually use this site as a guide. It isn't gospel but it's pretty accurate I find. I cross reference with other cookbooks as well to get an average,

I use 4.5 for AP flour and 4.1 for cake flour. If the cake flour is sifted first, then it is 3.5 oz.
All these weights are taken from several different books, but the ones I remember off the top of my head are Bakewise, who has a completely listing in the back of the book, and The Cake Bible.
I figure as long as I am consistent it will work out. Besides I weigh my ingredients. I don't like it when a recipe just puts down volume and not weight, so I convert everything I bake.
According to Google (which I live by lol) 12 US fluid ounces = 1.5 US cups
If you type in the conversion you want google will pull up a conversion calculator. I do however agree with the previous posts and I would try and get a good kitchen scale. I love mine. It really helps me to convert tons of recipes.
good luck
