How to Measure Sugar in Cups
Granulated sugar is one of the most consistent ingredients to measure by cup. Unlike flour, sugar doesn't compact easily when scooped directly from the bag. Simply fill your measuring cup and level the top with a straight edge for a reliable 200 grams per cup.
Use the calculator above to convert any amount of sugar from cups to grams. This is especially useful when scaling recipes up or down — sugar quantities matter in baking chemistry (it affects browning, moisture, and structure).
Pro tip: Caster sugar (superfine sugar) weighs the same as regular granulated sugar per cup — about 200 grams. The smaller crystal size doesn't significantly change the density.
