Measuring olive oil by cup and by weight
A cup of olive oil weighs about 216 g. That is almost identical to other cooking oils, so it is safe to swap oils by volume in cakes and dressings. Cold olive oil can thicken and cloud in the fridge, but the weight does not change. When baking with extra-virgin olive oil, choose a mild one, since a peppery oil can dominate a cake.
