How to Tell When Cheesecake Is Done: Temp, Jiggle, TimingA cheesecake is done at about 150°F in the center, with a 2 to 3 inch wobble.

A cup measures space, not weight. On this site a cup of all-purpose flour is 125 g, a cup of granulated sugar is 200 g and a cup of packed brown sugar is 213 g. A converter that uses one number for every ingredient will get most of a recipe wrong, which is how cakes come out dry and cookies spread flat. Every tool here asks what you are measuring first, then gives you the number.
How you fill the cup matters too. Flour scooped straight from the bag packs down and weighs noticeably more than flour spooned into the cup and leveled. Our numbers assume the spoon-and-level method, and the guides point it out whenever it changes the answer.
Each ingredient weight is the typical figure for that ingredient measured with the spoon-and-level method. Where reliable sources disagree, we use a middle value and say so on the page. Volume conversions use the US customary cup and tablespoon unless a tool says otherwise.
Every calculator runs right in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere, and there is no account to make. If a number looks wrong to you, tell us and we will check it and fix the page. You can read more about how we make this site and who makes it.
