100 Grams of Cake Flour to Cups

Direct Kitchen Answer

100 grams of Cake Flour equals ⅞ cup, or exactly 14 tablespoons.

For reliable recipe results, that equals 14.0 tablespoons or 42.1 teaspoons in US Customary Cup standards.

Density Note: Calibrated for Spooned and leveled (unsifted) at a reference density of 114g per cup (0.482 g/mL).

Direct Answer

100 grams of Cake Flour = 7/8 cups

Decimal value: 0.88 cups • Practical kitchen fraction: 7/8 cups

Tablespoons 14.0 tbsp
Teaspoons 42.1 tsp
Grams per Cup 114g / cup
Bulk Density 0.482 g/mL
Calibrated Measurement Condition: Spooned and leveled (unsifted)
Exact Formula

Calculation & Mathematical Derivation

To convert 100 grams of Cake Flour into US Customary measuring cups (236.6 mL):

Cups = Weight in Grams ÷ Grams per Cup (Bulk Density)
Cups = 100g ÷ 114g/cup = 0.88 cups (kitchen fraction: 7/8 cups)
Tablespoons = 100g ÷ 7.13g/tbsp = 14.0 tablespoons

This calculation is calibrated specifically for Spooned and leveled (unsifted) under standard kitchen conditions (sourced from USDA FoodData Central (FDC ID 168938)).

Technique Note: If sifted prior to measuring, 1 cup of cake flour weighs approximately 100g to 105g.

Scientific Methodology for Cake Flour

The conversion calculations for Cake Flour are derived from peer-reviewed laboratory bulk density measurements cataloged in USDA FoodData Central (FDC ID 168938). Volume calculations assume a standard US Customary culinary cup of 236.588 mL (8 US fluid ounces). Because factors such as humidity, particle size distribution, and scooping compression alter volumetric yield, weighing on a calibrated digital scale remains the gold standard in professional baking.
