About Olive Oil
Set a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the mark at eye level. Let the oil drain fully when transferring it; a film left in the cup is oil missing from the recipe.
Olive oil contributes its own flavour to cakes and breads. Choose the style specified in the recipe, and do not treat this weight conversion as a butter substitution rule: butter also contains water and behaves differently when creamed.
Tips for measuring Olive Oil
- Use a smaller measuring vessel for small amounts.
- Scrape the cup if a noticeable amount remains after pouring.
Common mistakes
- Replacing creamed butter with oil solely by matching its weight.
