In practice
Cups to millilitres is the most-used baking conversion between countries, but a 'cup' is not the same everywhere: a US customary cup is 236.6 ml (usually rounded to 240 ml), a metric cup in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa is 250 ml, and an imperial cup is about 284 ml. A recipe written for one will come out slightly different in another, which can matter in baking. For liquids the difference is small; for dry ingredients, weigh them in grams instead, since a cup of flour weighs much less than a cup of sugar.
