Hello,

Referring to Rosie's sour cream chocolate cake recipe, I have problem
trying to convert the cup measurements to grams. Does anyone know:
1. the weight in grams per cup of sifted all-purpose flour, sugar?
2. how much in ml per cup of sour cream, vegetable oil?

1 cup sifted all purpose flour weighs 114 grams.
1cup all purpose flour lightly spooned into the measuring cup weighs
121 grams.
1 cup sugar weighs 200 grams.
1 cup liquid equals approximately 236 ml.

A cup is set to 250 ml in Canada, for baking purposes. Flour will weigh
different weights on different days...due to humidity. So get a 250ml
container or measuring cup.

An American cup is 8 American Fluid ounces...You can do the conversion to
ml. An Imperial cup is 10 British ounces There is a difference in ounce
sizes. Rosie's recipe is probably American.

If you plan on doing a lot of Baking involving cups...buy a set of
American measuring cups on the net...they are fairly cheap even with
shipping charges.
