How much does a cup of whole wheat flour weigh?
A standard US cup of whole wheat flour weighs about 120 grams (4.23 ounces). That makes it almost the same weight as a cup of all-purpose flour, and lighter than a cup of granulated sugar (200 g). This is why a converter that uses the same factor for every ingredient will give wrong answers: whole wheat flour has its own density, and recipes depend on it.
