If all ingredients are measured in cups, it doesn't actually matter much, since you'd still get good proportions by using any of your cups.
It's problematic if some ingredients are specified by volume, others by weight.

Specifying by volume is also a problem for compressable things like flour, chopped hazelnuts etc.

For reference, this recipe is fairly tolerant, assuming you stay reasonable (don't use some sort of machine press to get your flour into the cup hey?)

The ambiguity can be solved by specifying "heaping" units. One heaping tablespoon, or 1/2 heaping cup, etc.
