One millilitre of cake flour is 0.4818498235 gram. Going the other way, one gram is 2.0753354079 millilitre. That works out at 2 millilitre = 0.963699647 gram and 4 = 1.927399294. The figure comes from cake flour weighing 114 g per US cup — a generic cups-to-grams converter assumes water and will give you the wrong answer here, because volume to weight depends entirely on what is in the cup.

About the Millilitres to Grams — Cake Flour
Cake flour is milled finer and is usually sifted before measuring, which is why a cup weighs noticeably less than plain flour. If a recipe says "1 cup sifted cake flour" it means sift first, then measure — the reverse order gives a heavier cup and a denser cake. Low protein, around 7–9%, which is what keeps the crumb tender. The figure this page works from is 114 g per US cup, the spooned-and-levelled weight recorded by King Arthur Baking and the USDA food database. Converting millilitre to gram for cake flour, the amounts that come up most often are: 25 millilitre = 12 gram; 50 millilitre = 24.1 gram; 75 millilitre = 36.1 gram; 100 millilitre = 48.2 gram; 150 millilitre = 72.3 gram; 200 millilitre = 96.4 gram; 250 millilitre = 12 gram; 500 millilitre = 241 gram; 1000 millilitre = 482 gram.

- Following a US recipe with a kitchen scale instead of cup measures.
- Scaling a recipe up or down without compounding measuring error.
- Converting a European recipe written in grams into cups.

The maths behind it
This tool uses gram = millilitre × 0.4818498235, derived from cake flour weighing 114 g per US cup. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.
Cake flour is milled finer and is usually sifted before measuring, which is why a cup weighs noticeably less than plain flour. If a recipe says "1 cup sifted cake flour" it means sift first, then measure — the reverse order gives a heavier cup and a denser cake.
Where this tool stops
Volume-to-weight conversion is inherently approximate. Humidity, brand, how finely something is milled and how long it has sat in the cupboard all shift the figure by a few per cent.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make cake flour from plain flour?
Roughly. Remove two tablespoons from a cup of all-purpose flour and replace them with two tablespoons of cornflour, then sift several times. It is a decent approximation for most recipes, though it will not match a true low-protein flour exactly.
Why does a cup of cake flour not weigh the same as a cup of water?
Because a cup measures volume and a scale measures weight, and the two only agree for water. Cake flour has its own density — 114 g per US cup — so any generic volume converter gives the wrong answer here.
How much does the way I fill the cup matter?
More than for plain flour, because cake flour is milled finer and settles harder. It is also usually sifted, and sifting before measuring rather than after changes the cup by 10–15 g. Cake recipes are the least forgiving of an over-measured cup, which is why a scale earns its place fastest here.
Is a US cup the same as a UK or metric cup?
No. A US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup is 250 ml and an old UK cup is 284 ml. These pages use the US cup, because that is what US recipes mean.
Does the Millilitres to Grams — Cake Flour cost anything?

Converting a European recipe written in grams into cups. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
What are the limits of the Millilitres to Grams — Cake Flour?
Volume-to-weight conversion is inherently approximate. Humidity, brand, how finely something is milled and how long it has sat in the cupboard all shift the figure by a few per cent. Knowing where a tool stops being trustworthy matters more than the cases where it works.
What are the reference figures here?
1 US cup of cake flour is 114 g. 1 Millilitre is 0.4818498235 Gram. 1 Gram is 2.0753354079 Millilitre. These are printed on the page itself, so you do not have to take them on trust.
Can I rely on this for exact work?
The calculation runs in double precision and the result is shown to ten significant figures, so converting a value and converting it back returns the original. What is displayed is rounded for readability; what is copied is not.
