Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 120g/cup × 48 = teaspoons
  1. Start with 220 grams of powdered sugar
  2. 1 cup of powdered sugar = 120g
  3. 220g ÷ 120g/cup = 1.83 cups × 48 = 88.00 teaspoons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Powdered sugar dissolves faster than granulated, making it ideal for frostings and glazes. Weight is the most reliable way to measure it consistently.

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 Teaspoon?

One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 88.00 tsp, 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 48 to get teaspoons. For 220 grams: 220 ÷ 120 = 1.83 cups × 48 = 88.00 tsp.
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: 88.00 tsp ÷ 48 = 1.83333 cups, then 1.83333 × 120g/cup = 220g. Or use the Teaspoons to Grams converter.
