Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 120g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 374 grams of powdered sugar
  2. 1 cup of powdered sugar = 120g
  3. 374g ÷ 120g/cup = 3.12 cups × 16 = 49.87 tablespoons

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 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.

What is a Tablespoon?

A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 49.87 tbsp, 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.
Divide the grams by 120 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 374 grams: 374 ÷ 120 = 3.12 cups × 16 = 49.87 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh powdered sugar on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Granulated and powdered sugars should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. Do not pack them unless the recipe specifically says to.
Reverse the conversion: 49.87 tbsp ÷ 16 = 3.11667 cups, then 3.11667 × 120g/cup = 374g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
