Measuring baking powder by cup and by weight
Baking powder is about 4 g per teaspoon, or 192 g per cup, though no recipe uses a cup. The amount matters: a quarter teaspoon too much can cause a cake to rise fast and then collapse, with a bitter, metallic taste. Spoon it in and level with a knife instead of scooping, and replace the tin every six months, because old powder loses its lift.
