How to Measure Granulated Sugar Correctly

💡

Granulated sugar should be spooned and leveled, not packed. It does not compress like brown sugar.

💡

For the most accurate sugar measurement, use a kitchen scale. 1 cup of granulated sugar weighs approximately 200g.

💡

Sugar is hygroscopic - it absorbs moisture from the air. Store in an airtight container to prevent clumping.

💡

266g of granulated sugar is about 1 1/3 cups using Spoon & Level. For consistency, stick to one measuring method across the whole recipe.

Why Cup-to-Grams Accuracy Matters for Granulated Sugar

Small cup changes create big weight differences. For granulated sugar, 1 1/3 cups is about 266g, but just 1/4 cup more jumps to 316g.

This is why cup-based recipes can drift: packed, loose, or sifted volume can shift your actual grams. Using grams keeps hydration and texture consistent across batches.

If your recipe starts in cups, convert once to grams and bake by weight. That avoids hidden volume error and makes your result repeatable every time.
