TIL a baker I follow on YouTube said she weighs her flour twice, and now my sponge cakes finally stopped sinking

I always scooped straight from the bag like my grandma did, but she pointed out that a cup can swing between 120g and 155g depending on how packed it is, which explains why my cakes were so hit or miss for years. Started double checking with my $12 scale and the last 4 bakes have come out level every time. Anyone else weigh everything or do you still go by cups?
