How Much Is 0.62 Cups of Powdered Sugar in Grams?
0.62 cups of powdered sugar weighs 74.40 g. This is based on powdered sugar having a density of 120g per cup. Because cups measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 0.62 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.62 cups of powdered sugar
- 1 cup of powdered sugar = 120g
- 0.62 × 120 = 74.4g
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?
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.
