A pretty cake for a dinner party. The top looks bejewelled and everyone loves both its look and taste. Highly recommended if you want to impress. However, puzzled over the cup-to-gram conversion of the cake's flour measurement. Recipe states 1/4cup flour [topping], which is 20g per your conversion. This works out to be 160g for 2 cups flour [cake batter]. Yet your conversion shows 1cup=95g, which implies 190gram for 2cups. What shld 2cups flour be -> 160gram or 190gramÁ Incidentally, yr conversion shows [for flour] 1/4cup=20g, 1/2cup=50g, 3/4cup=70g,1cup=95g. Based on 1/4cup=20g, why isn't 1/2cup=40g, 3/4cup=60g and 1cup=80gÁ Appreciate if you cld plse clear my confusion. Thks very much.
