Measuring 75g of Cake Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of cake flour weighs 114g when measured spooned & leveled, 75 Grams (75g) translates to 0.66 US cups (⅔ cup). By contrast, using the sifted measure (100g/cup — a 14g per-cup shift), 75g occupies ¾ cup (0.75 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅔ cup (10.53 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.
