Since I have some cream around, and pretty accurate metric scales, I can
report that 150 grams of whipping cream is almost exactly 150 milliliters
(or, 1 1/2 deciliters), which would be scant 2/3 cups.

While it is quite correct that European cooks tend to measure dry
ingredients by weight rather than volume, liquid ingredients are usually
measured by volume and I confess I wouldn´t know offhand how much 150 grams
of cream really is. I suspect this is a British recipe - they haven´t quite
got the hang of the metric system yet.
