Some recipes, like cakes, call for sifted flour. Unlike countries that use metric weights in grams, U.S. recipes use cups. One cups of sifted flour does not equal 1 cup of four sifted. In both cases, it aerates and removes clumps of flour. But, the weight of sifted flour is less than unsifted flour. More flour can contribute to tough dry cakes.
