How Much Is 800 Grams of Powdered Sugar in Tablespoons?
Converting 800 grams of powdered sugar to tablespoons gives 106.67 tbsp. Divide by the density of powdered sugar (120g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 800 grams of powdered sugar
- 1 cup of powdered sugar = 120g
- 800g ÷ 120g/cup = 6.67 cups × 16 = 106.67 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?
Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US.
