The volume measurements depend on consistent sifting of the dry ingredients and tamping of the dry wet ingredients (such as butter/ brown sugar). The best cake recipes are measured in weight not volume.
As far as how big a piece you eat or what you drink with it , I say "No stress , enjoy!".
He's right, ya know. This would explain why some recipes do better in the winter than the summer when using volume measurements. Flour weighs more in the summer because of the humidity and moisture in the air.
