Am I the only one seeing more bakers ditch the scale for flour?

My recent cake sunk in the middle because of it.

Weighing flour is for beginners who can't eyeball it yet.

Exactly! My last flat cake proved that.

Seriously though, I read a thing from a cookbook author who tested this. She had ten people scoop a "cup" of flour from the same bag. Every single one was a different weight, some by over an ounce. That's a huge difference in baking. Your sunk cake is proof. It's not about skill, it's about being exact. That's why actual pros always use a scale.
