Formula and Step-by-Step

cups × 120g/cup = grams
  1. Start with 0.34 cups of powdered sugar
  2. 1 cup of powdered sugar = 120g
  3. 0.34 × 120 = 40.8g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Powdered sugar clumps easily. Sift before measuring by volume, or weigh to avoid the sifted-vs-unsifted ambiguity entirely.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 40.80 g, based on powdered sugar having a density of 120g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of cups by 120 (grams per cup for powdered sugar). For 0.34 cups: 0.34 × 120 = 40.80 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh powdered sugar on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Granulated and powdered sugars should be spooned into the measuring cup and leveled off. Do not pack them unless the recipe specifically says to.
Reverse the conversion: 40.80 g ÷ 120 = 0.34 cups. Or use the Grams to Cups converter.
