Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Steffen Walter

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

A cup is definitely not vague I have a number of recipes that measure some (but not all) ingredients in cups and am certain that a cup in the UK represents a definite volume and is therefore a standard imperial measurement.

For this translation, I suggest that a "pot" of yoghurt would be sensible.
Birgit Gläser Nov 16, 2020:
with Thomas & Lancashireman although in the recipe you might want to call it a cup/mug/glass to avoid confusion with the actual cup measure...

But just to point out the obvious... it is not a mug cake ... those are small cakes stirred then "baked" or better microwaved in a mug...

In South Africa one cup is equivalent to 250ml.

Becherkuchen (?) I think we call it a 'Becherkuchen' when all measurements are given in 'cups' ('Becher', 'Tasse', 'Glas' or whatever container you might use) rather than in grams. How large the cup is, isn't really relevant as long as you use the same cup for the whole recipe – a large cup will result in a large cake, a small cup in a small cake.

When I grew up in the UK, recipes used to be expressed in cups. Here in the US it has a specific meaning, half a liquid pint. But this is too vague for the European market, if that's what you're translating for. I would get clarification from the customer.
NB: this is one of those "non-logged-in visitors" who apparently isn't able to award points.
Lancashireman Nov 15, 2020:
How long is a piece of string? Discussion here: https://www.gutefrage.net/frage/wieviel-ist-1glas-mehl
The EN equivalent would surely be 'cup', an equally vague measure.
