Converting Sugar: Weight vs. Volume
Why Volume Varies
Different types of sugar have different densities, which affects their volume measurements. For example, 1 cup of granulated sugar weighs about 7 ounces, while 1 cup of powdered sugar weighs only about 4 ounces.
Best Practices
Professional bakers prefer weighing ingredients for consistency and precision. However, many home recipes use volume measurements, making this converter a valuable tool for accurate conversions.
