Flour is the ingredient where cup measuring goes wrong most often. It compresses easily, so the same cup can hold anywhere from 120 g when spooned in gently to 145 g when the cup is dipped straight into the bag. That swing is about two extra tablespoons, enough to turn a chewy cookie dry or a tender cake dense.

Questions
How many cups is 300 g of all-purpose flour?
2.5 cups, or about 2 cups + 1/2. That is worked out at 120 g per US cup, and a cup of all-purpose flour can run 120 to 145 g depending on how the cup is filled.
How many tablespoons is 300 g of all-purpose flour?
About 40 tablespoons, since one US cup is 16 tablespoons. For small amounts tablespoons are usually the more accurate measure to work with.
