Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 15.52 ounces of brown sugar
- Convert ounces to grams: 15.52 × 28.35 = 439.98g
- 1 cup of brown sugar = 220g
- 439.98g ÷ 220g/cup = 2 cups × 16 = 32.00 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
If your brown sugar has hardened, microwave it with a damp paper towel for 20 seconds. Hard brown sugar is still the same weight but impossible to measure by volume.
