Plain flour (also known as all-purpose flour) is one of the most commonly used ingredients in baking and cooking. It has a moderate protein content, making it versatile enough for pastries, breads, sauces, and coatings. In the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, it’s called plain flour, while in the US and Canada, it’s known as all-purpose flour.

Since different countries use different measurement systems (and flour can settle when scooped), converting between grams, cups, and tablespoons helps ensure your recipes turn out just right. Use this page to easily convert plain flour for any recipe.

Cake flour is softer and lower in protein than plain flour (around 7 to 9% vs 10 to 12%), giving a more tender crumb. It is lighter per cup (120 g vs 125 g); for a quick stand-in when out of cake flour, sift 1 cup of plain flour with 2 tablespoons removed and replaced with cornstarch. See our Cake Flour converter.

Bread flour carries more protein than plain flour (around 12 to 14% vs 10 to 12%), giving stronger gluten and a chewier crumb in yeasted bakes. It is slightly heavier per cup (130 g vs 125 g); swap by weight in pizza, sandwich loaves, and bagels for a more open, chewy texture. See our Bread Flour converter.
