Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.23 cups of brown sugar
- 1 cup of brown sugar = 220g
- 0.23 × 220 = 50.6g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
If your brown sugar has hardened, microwave it with a damp paper towel for 20 seconds. Hard brown sugar is still the same weight but impossible to measure by volume.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
