I see that by the photo, the author used King Arthur flour. That company writes a lot of recipes to help out people who use their products. The company writes its recipes in both weight & US cups so it has a good chart I use to convert. (Mind it is just cups to ounces, but I bet you could easily convert ounces to grams if that's what you prefer) Here's a link to their chart. http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes2008/master-weight-chart.html I find it is rather accurate to how I measure using US cups.

just tried this and one website says cake flour is 190g and this says says 227g. so different ):

You might just be better off baking it by proportions. Use a coffee cup as your "cup" and try to do your best with that. Or you could round & say that a "cup" of cake flour is 200g. My understanding is that it's the proportions of baking that are important to keep and as long as everything is proportionate, all should be fine.

I'm an American living in the UK and this is exactly what I do when I'm using US recipes. Works like a charm!

The coffee cup thing, that is.
