Why sources disagree

Both sources agree within a gram. Almond flour is light because ground nuts trap air, so a cup weighs far less than a cup of wheat flour. Do not swap almond flour for wheat flour cup for cup by weight or volume without a recipe written for it; it has no gluten and behaves differently.

How to measure almond flour accurately

Almond flour clumps, so stir it and break up lumps before you measure.
Weigh on a digital scale when you can, since cup scoops vary from cook to cook.
If you use cups, fill the same way every time so your results stay consistent.

Convert the whole recipe, not one line

Converting a recipe one ingredient at a time is where mistakes slip in. Sous Chef imports a recipe from a link or pasted text, then converts every ingredient at once: dry ingredients and butter to grams, liquids to millilitres. Tap again to go back to cups.

US recipe

2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1½ cups milk

In Sous Chef, after "Convert to metric"

275 g all-purpose flour
225 g butter, softened
170 g brown sugar, packed
350 ml milk

Example output. Sous Chef rounds to amounts you would actually weigh, so its numbers can differ by a few grams from the table above.
