How Much Is 7.48 Cups of Brown Sugar in Grams?
7.48 cups of brown sugar equals 1,645.60 g. Brown sugar has a density of 220g per cup (220g per cup), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 7.48 cups of all-purpose flour would be 936.20 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 7.48 cups of brown sugar
- 1 cup of brown sugar = 220g
- 7.48 × 220 = 1,645.6g
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?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
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.
