Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 120g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 35.27 ounces of powdered sugar
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 35.27 × 28.35 = 999.89g
  3. 1 cup of powdered sugar = 120g
  4. 999.89g ÷ 120g/cup = 8.33 cups

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 an Ounce?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 8.33 cups, 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.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 120 (grams per cup). For 35.27 ounces: 35.27 × 28.3495 = 999.89g, then 999.89 ÷ 120 = 8.33 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh powdered sugar on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Granulated and powdered sugars should be spooned into the measuring cup and leveled off. Do not pack them unless the recipe specifically says to.
Reverse the conversion: 8.33 cups × 120g/cup = 999.89g, then 999.89g ÷ 28.3495 = 35.27 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
