Why density matters

A cup isn't a fixed weight.

Every ingredient packs differently. A cup of honey is nearly three times heavier than a cup of flour, while measuring technique can change flour's weight by 20% or more.

For repeatable baking, choose the ingredient first and weigh the converted amount on a kitchen scale.
