How Much Is 25 Grams of Powdered Sugar in Teaspoons?
25 grams of powdered sugar equals 10.00 tsp. Powdered sugar has a density of 120g per cup. Because grams measure weight and teaspoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 25 grams of powdered sugar
- 1 cup of powdered sugar = 120g
- 25g ÷ 120g/cup = 0.21 cups × 48 = 10.00 teaspoons
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.
