How Cake Flour Converter Works?
The Cake Flour Converter works by dividing grams of cake flour by 2.3 g per level US teaspoon. Cake flour is finely milled and bleached, so each spoon holds 12% less weight than all-purpose flour.
Sift the flour
Sift cake flour once before measuring. Fine cake flour clumps and traps lumps of dry flour.
Enter grams
Type the cake flour weight, such as 30 g for a small batch of cupcakes.
Spoon lightly
Spoon the sifted flour into the measure and level without pressing.
Cake Flour Converter Formula
The Cake Flour Converter formula is teaspoons = grams of cake flour ÷ 2.3.
cake flour tsp = g ÷ 2.3 | 1 tbsp = 6.9 g | 1 US cup ≈ 110 g
- 30 g of cake flour ÷ 2.3 = 13.04 tsp, about 4 ⅓ tbsp.
- 1 cup of cake flour = 48 × 2.3 = 110.4 g.
- Home-made cake flour: 1 cup all-purpose flour minus 2 tbsp, plus 2 tbsp cornstarch.
