Baking is a Piece Of Cake

Cooking is a culinary art, baking is a food chemical science. Correct ingredient weight is a baking receipt’s chemical formula. In some country, people like to use grams for measurement, the other like to use cup and teaspoon. To get the best baking results,  you have to follow the formula. The following is a short list of ingredient weight chart by King Arthur Floor. The completed list is here

All Purpose Flour          1 cup                        120 grams
Baking Power                 1 teaspoon              4 grams
