How Much Does Sugar Weigh?
Oh, excuse us, are you a scientific cook? Are round numbers not good enough for you? That's OK, some of our favorite cooks are caught up in cooking science. Try the following (where the rounding is simply in smaller increments):
A cup of confectioner's sugar weighs about 4.3 oz, so a pound is a little less than 4 cups. A pound of brown sugar is about 2 cups, firmly packed.
We are too tired of making tables to help you if you want to be scientific with confectioner's sugar or brown sugar.
