Officially there is no such thing as a dry cup. A cup is a liquid volumetric measurement However, a dry quart is 16.36% bigger than a liquid quart. Since there are 4 liquid cups in a liquid quart, it would appear logical that there are 4 dry cups in a dry quart. Following this logic, then a dry cup (if it existed) would be 16.36% bigger than a liquid cup.

Can you use a liquid measuring cup for dry measure?
A cup is a cup, basically. However, the true measure is level with the top of what is called a dry measuring cup. That is why you should overfill this type cup and then run a flat edge across the top. If you poured liquid to be even with the top it would run over so you use a "liquid" cup marked in increments and make the liquid even with the line you need. I am a retired Home Economics teacher.

Why is it difficult to measure dry ingredients in a liquid measuring cup?
Dry measure tends to be SLIGHTLY more than liquid measure, which in most recipes won't change things. But, if the recipe has to be increased to feed more people, then what started out as 1/8th cup can end up being 1/4 or 1/2, depending on the amounts used. You can prove this to yourself by filling both a liquid measuring cup (use a 2 cup measure) with exactly 1 cup of water. Then fill to the brim 1 cup dry measure and carefully pour the dry measure cup into the 2 cup measuring cup, get eye level and you will see the difference.
