Sifting - you should sift onto wax paper and then scoop into the measuring cup.

Did you use a sieve to sift or an old fashioned flour sifter? My Mother’s flour sifter has 3 screens. I have old family recipes that say sift 3 times and then scoop. If you used a sieve - try sifting 3 times.

Eggs - checked my 1970s Joy of Cooking. A large egg then weighed 2 oz. I have no idea what modern large eggs weigh.

Hope this helps.
