How the numbers were chosen
- Dry ingredients and solid fats follow King Arthur Baking's published ingredient weight chart, using the spoon-and-level method.
- Liquids such as water, milk and cream are calculated from the true volume of a US cup (236.588 mL) and the typical density of each liquid.
- A few values come from other references where they're more reliable, such as USDA data for cooked rice and brand labels for Greek yogurt. Each row names its source.
Real weights vary with brand, humidity and how a cup is filled, so treat these as reliable averages for home baking. If you spot a value that looks wrong, please let us know.
