Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 120g/cup × 48 = teaspoons
  1. Start with 68.4 grams of powdered sugar
  2. 1 cup of powdered sugar = 120g
  3. 68.4g ÷ 120g/cup = 0.57 cups × 48 = 27.36 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.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

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 27.36 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 68.4 grams: 68.4 ÷ 120 = 0.57 cups × 48 = 27.36 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: 27.36 tsp ÷ 48 = 0.57 cups, then 0.57 × 120g/cup = 68.4g. Or use the Teaspoons to Grams converter.
