Where 120 g comes from

USDA FoodData Central: 1 cup of “Wheat flour, whole-grain (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program)” = 120 g. FDC 168893

King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (“Whole Wheat Flour (Premium 100%)”): 113 g per cup. Chart

This page uses 120 g (USDA). The two sources differ by 7 g (5.83%): that gap is about how firmly the cup is filled, not an error in either.

Whole wheat flour includes the bran and germ, so it is coarser and settles differently from white flour. USDA puts a cup at 120 g, King Arthur at 113 g. It soaks up more liquid, so recipes that swap it in often add a tablespoon or two of water.

How to measure whole wheat flour by the cup

Stir it to loosen, spoon it into a dry measuring cup until heaped, then sweep the top level with the back of a knife. Do not tap or press the cup.

In the UK and Australia: wholemeal flour. Metric cups there hold 250 ml, so a metric cup of whole wheat flour weighs about 127 g.
