When it comes to baking breads and cakes, I've found weighing so much easier and more accurate. I just have to convert a lot of recipes first. Although America's Test Kitchen has started to include weights in all their baking recipes after I requested it on their Facebook page - which did make me happy... whether it was me that did it or not.
