Heavy cream (also called heavy whipping cream) weighs 238g per cup and contains 36-40% milk fat. It doubles in volume when whipped. German Schlagsahne typically has 30-33% fat, slightly less than US heavy cream. For recipes requiring US heavy cream, German Schlagsahne works but may whip slightly less stiffly.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS

READ TIME · 2 MIN

If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.

A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.

Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.

The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
