Understanding Sugar Measurements

Different types of sugar have varying densities, which affects their weight-to-volume ratio. For accurate baking results, weight measurements (pounds) are generally more reliable than volume measurements (cups).

Conversion Ratios

  • 1 cup granulated sugar = 0.440925 pounds
  • 1 cup brown sugar = 0.440925 pounds
  • 1 cup powdered sugar = 0.270925 pounds
  • 1 cup raw sugar = 0.529925 pounds

Tips for Accurate Measurement

For the most accurate results when measuring sugar by volume:

  • • Spoon sugar into measuring cup, don't scoop
  • • Level off with straight edge
  • • Don't pack unless recipe specifies
  • • Consider using a digital scale for precision
