How to measure it
Heavy cream weighs about 238 g a cup, a shade under milk at 240 g because butterfat is lighter than water. Measure it like any liquid, in a clear cup at eye level.
The number changes dramatically once you whip it. Whipped cream roughly doubles in volume, so a cup of whipped cream weighs only about 120 g. Recipes almost always mean unwhipped liquid cream unless they say otherwise, and this page converts the liquid form.
Density source: Government food composition data. Method assumed: Poured liquid, measured level like milk.
