1 cup in US recipe terms is about 240 ml or 2.4 dl.

'All purpose flour' is an American term for 'self-raising flour'.

A 'cup' in US recipe terms is 250 ml. Same measure for liquids and solids, confounding as that may be.

But hey, the Americans don't really 'cook'.

NO!!! It's plain flour. Coincidentally, they called self-raising flour 'self-raising flour'. You guys clearly don't watch enough Triple D.

As the recipe includes baking powder yes it must be plain flour. So 1 cup(2dl) will be 100gms?confused

No need for that process of elimination, it just is!

This might help.

ETA, except that the cup of flour conversion should be 150g.
