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

cups × 120g/cup ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 5.67 cups of powdered sugar
  2. 1 cup of powdered sugar = 120g
  3. 5.67 × 120 = 680.4g
  4. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 24.00 oz, 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), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 5.67 cups: 5.67 × 120 = 680.4g, then 680.4 ÷ 28.3495 = 24.00 oz.
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: 24.00 oz × 28.3495 = 680.4g, then 680.4g ÷ 120 = 5.67 cups. Or use the Ounces to Cups converter.
