Whoever the last person was that posted the question about how many cups are in a pound I gave you the wrong answer. Its 2 not 4. One cup=8ounces 16 Ounces= 1 pound or 450 grams. Sorry don't know why I was thinking 4.

Regards Sugarcreations...

You can't substitute volume for weight. That only works for butter.

A pound of flour, for instance, is around 4 cups. Every ingredient has a different density and will weigh more or less per cup than the next ingredient. Weigh a cup of different things, and you'll see what I mean.

SugarCreations -- If i recall I believe that was a post pertaining to butter in the favorite recipe swap thread.

What confuses most people is our use of ounces...Ounces are used in weight measurement 16 ounces = 1 pound

BUT they are also used in liquid measurement 8 ounces equal 1 cup

but remember 8 ounces may not weigh 8 ounces.

Hi, I beleive it was I that posted this last SugarCreations. thanks for all the great help everyone.

I don't have anything to do with this thread, but it was funny that your talking about pounds and ounces not being "ounces". I'm a fifth grade math teacher and I just taught that stuff last week! Being that I bake (or try to) as well, I have learned that a pound of one thing is not necessarily a "pound" of something else.
