Measuring heavy cream by the cup

Measure the liquid cream before whipping. Whipped cream needs a different cup weight.

Level dry ingredients with a flat edge instead of leaving a heap, and read liquids on a flat surface at eye level. When a recipe gives grams, a kitchen scale is the surest way to match it.
