Sunflower oil
Sunflower oil is light and rich in Vitamin E. It is often swapped for butter in baking (like carrot cakes or muffins) to keep the crumb moist longer. Precision is key here: excess oil makes cakes greasy and dense. Using a scale is the secret to fluffy textures.

How this conversion works
Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because Sunflower oil has a density of 0.92 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 9 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of Sunflower oil 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.

FAQ

- High-Oleic sunflower oil is modified to be more stable at high temperatures (frying) and has a longer shelf life compared to regular sunflower oil, which is better for dressings and quick baking.
