How Much Is 1.67 Cups of Powdered Sugar in Ounces?
1.67 cups of powdered sugar weighs 7.07 oz. This is based on powdered sugar having a density of 120g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1.67 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.67 cups of powdered sugar
- 1 cup of powdered sugar = 120g
- 1.67 × 120 = 200.4g
- Convert grams to ounces: 200.4 ÷ 28.3495 = 7.07 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Powdered sugar dissolves faster than granulated, making it ideal for frostings and glazes. Weight is the most reliable way to measure it consistently.
