Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 50.08 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar = 7.5g
- 50.08 × 7.5 = 375.6g
- Convert grams to ounces: 375.6 ÷ 28.3495 = 13.25 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.
