Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.69 cups of brown sugar
- 1 cup of brown sugar = 220g

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?
A cup is a US customary unit of volume equal to 236.588 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces. It is the most common volume measurement in American recipes. One cup can be divided into 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
