- Flour settles, so a cup's weight depends on how it is filled. This page uses 140 g for a metric cup spooned and levelled. Sifted it can drop to about 125 g; scooped and packed it can reach 160 g. Weigh for the most reliable result.

Related to Plain Flour
Bread Flour
A straight swap with more protein (150 g vs 140 g per cup), so gluten develops further and the crumb turns chewier. Good in pizza, bagels, and rustic loaves; in delicate cakes it can read tough, so reserve it for bakes that want structure. See our Bread Flour converter.
Cake Flour
The tender-crumb swap: cake flour is softer and lower in protein, 7 to 9% against 10 to 12%, giving a finer, lighter result in sponges and cupcakes (130 g vs 140 g per cup). Avoid it for bread and pizza, where the weaker gluten leaves the dough slack. No cake flour on hand? Take 2 tablespoons out of a cup of plain flour and replace them with cornstarch. See our Cake Flour converter.
Self Raising Flour
Self-raising flour is plain flour with baking powder already blended in, matched in weight per cup (140 g each). Use the self-raising flour calculator to make your own from plain flour, or swap to plain flour and add your own leavener. See what 1 ounce of self raising flour is in tablespoons.
