Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 7.5g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 0.08 tablespoons of powdered sugar
  2. 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar = 7.5g
  3. 0.08 × 7.5 = 0.6g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 0.6 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.02 oz

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 Tablespoon?

One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.

What is an Ounce?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.02 oz, 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.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 7.5 (grams per tablespoon for powdered sugar), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 0.08 tablespoons: 0.08 × 7.5 = 0.6g, then 0.6 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.02 oz.
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: 0.02 oz × 28.3495 = 0.6g, then 0.6g ÷ 7.5 = 0.08 tablespoons. Or use the Ounces to Tablespoons converter.
