The #1 mistake home bakers make (and how to fix it)
Most home bakers measure flour by scooping it straight out of the bag. That single habit adds 20-30% more flour to every recipe — and it's why your cakes come out dense and your cookies spread flat.
The fix takes 2 seconds: Spoon flour into your measuring cup, then level it off with a knife. Or better yet, use a kitchen scale. 1 cup of all-purpose flour = 120g.
This one change will transform your baking overnight. No fancy equipment, no special ingredients — just technique.
