How Much Is 4.49 Cups of Powdered Sugar in Ounces?
4.49 cups of powdered sugar equals 19.01 oz. Powdered sugar has a density of 120g per cup (120g per cup), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 4.49 cups of honey would be 53.85 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4.49 cups of powdered sugar
- 1 cup of powdered sugar = 120g
- 4.49 × 120 = 538.8g
- Convert grams to ounces: 538.8 ÷ 28.3495 = 19.01 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Powdered sugar settles significantly during storage. Sifted powdered sugar weighs about 100g per cup compared to 120g unsifted - check whether your recipe means sifted or unsifted.

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 an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
