Almond Flour
Almond flour is a luxury ingredient demanding absolute precision, especially in macarons. Being oil-rich, it tends to clump and pack down. A 'packed' cup can weigh 120g, while a 'sifted' cup only 90g. This 30% variance is the leading cause of failed macarons and greasy cakes. The scale is non-negotiable here.

A key ingredient for French macarons, gluten-free cakes, and amaretti. It adds moisture and richness to baked goods.
How this conversion works
Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because Almond Flour has a density of 0.45 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 5 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of Almond Flour so every measurement is accurate.
Measurement notes
Values are rounded to the nearest whole gram. Actual weight can vary slightly with compaction, temperature, and brand. For precision baking, a kitchen scale is always more reliable than volume measurements.
