How Much Is 5.67 Cups of Powdered Sugar in Ounces?
5.67 cups of powdered sugar weighs 24.00 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 5.67 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.67 cups of powdered sugar
- 1 cup of powdered sugar = 120g
- 5.67 × 120 = 680.4g
- Convert grams to ounces: 680.4 ÷ 28.3495 = 24.00 oz
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?
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.
