How to measure all-purpose flour
Spoon all-purpose flour into the cup until it heaps, then sweep the top level with the back of a knife. Do not tap the cup or press the flour down, because both pack more flour into the same space.
Spooned and leveled vs scooped flour
Dipping the cup into the bag presses flour down, so a scooped cup holds more. Cake flour shows the size of the gap. King Arthur Baking lists 120 g for a spooned cup, and USDA lists 137 g for a cup "unsifted, dipped".
