How it works
Cups measure volume, grams measure weight, so the answer depends on the ingredient. A cup of flour weighs far less than a cup of honey.
Assumptions & limitations

Why do recipes differ?
How you fill the cup matters — scooped flour can weigh 20% more than spooned. A kitchen scale is most accurate.
