Measuring 350g of Cake Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of cake flour weighs 114g when measured spooned & leveled, 350 Grams (350g) translates to 3.07 US cups (3 cups + 1 tbsp + ¼ tsp). By contrast, using the sifted measure (100g/cup — a 14g per-cup shift), 350g occupies 3 ½ cups (3.50 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 3 cups + 1 tbsp + ¼ tsp (49.12 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Cake flour is milled extra fine and clumps easily in humidity; sift or whisk thoroughly before spooning into a measuring cup.
