Weighing baking ingredients without a kitchen scale or measuring cup? These common kitchen utensils make it possible.
You don't have a kitchen scale or the batteries run out while you're baking? Then you don't have to miss out on a home-baked piece of cake. Even without a kitchen scale or measuring cup, both liquid and dry baking ingredients can be measured without any problems. This is demonstrated not least by recipes such as grandma's traditional 4-3-2-1 mug cake or quick pancakes without measuring or weighing.
No scales at hand? Cups and mugs can help
Is your measuring cup in the dishwasher? Then grab your favorite coffee cup instead. This is also a great way to measure flour, butter and sugar. For a regular coffee cup, you can usually expect a volume of 150 milliliters.
A kitchen scale can be quite helpful when cooking and baking. And yet you don't necessarily need one to measure the ingredients. (Symbolic image) © Image Source/Imago
