Sugars vary in weight by type, so a cup of one is not a cup of another. This chart gives gram weights for the sugars and liquid sweeteners you bake with most.
| Sweetener | 1 cup (g) | 1 tbsp (g) |
|---|---|---|
| Granulated (white) | 200 | 13 |
| Brown sugar (packed) | 220 | 14 |
| Powdered (confectioners) | 120 | 8 |
| Caster (superfine) | 225 | 14 |
| Raw / turbinado | 200 | 13 |
| Honey | 340 | 21 |
| Maple syrup | 322 | 20 |
Swapping sugars: white and brown sugar trade 1:1 by volume (brown adds moisture and molasses flavor). Replacing sugar with honey means using about 3/4 the amount and reducing other liquid.
Convert any amount in the cooking calculators, and see the Grams to Cups Chart.
