Working with cake flour
Cake Flour sits in the flours & starches group, where a cup lands in the same range as water, but the material still compacts differently depending on how you fill the cup. Cake flour is milled finer and is often sold pre-sifted, so it is the lightest of the wheat flours per cup.
If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.
