You found a recipe online and it uses cups. Your kitchen scale reads grams. Or vice versa. Here's the cheat sheet you need.
Common Conversions
Flour: 1 cup = 125g
Sugar (granulated): 1 cup = 200g
Brown sugar (packed): 1 cup = 220g
Butter: 1 cup = 227g (2 sticks)
Milk/Water: 1 cup = 240ml = 240g
Rice (uncooked): 1 cup = 185g
Oats: 1 cup = 90g
Why Grams Are Better for Baking
A "cup of flour" can range from 110g to 150g depending on how you scoop it. Pack it in? 150g. Spoon and level? 125g. Shake and pour? 130g. That variation can ruin a cake.
Grams are precise. 125g is 125g no matter how you put it on the scale. If you're serious about baking, weigh your ingredients.
