Why weigh it instead of using cups?
A kitchen scale is more accurate than cups, especially in baking, where small differences change the texture. Weighing also means fewer cups to wash.
US cups (236.6 ml). Checked against USDA FoodData Central and King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight chart; brands and how you fill the cup make small differences.
Cups or grams, your choice. Pantry to Pan shows any recipe as written,
in US cups or in metric, and scales every amount when you change the servings.
