One cup, side by side
How much does a cup of heavy cream weigh?
238 g, per USDA FoodData Central. King Arthur's chart would say 227 — the flat eight-fluid-ounce figure it gives every liquid — which would make heavy cream weigh exactly what whole milk, buttermilk, sour cream and water weigh. USDA separates them: buttermilk 245 g, whole milk 244 g, heavy cream 238 g, sour cream 230 g. That is a 15 g spread across four things the shorthand calls identical.
