Ingredient Conversion
Convert powdered sugar from grams into cups with rounded kitchen-friendly values and a quick reference table.
Powdered sugar does not use the same grams-to-cups value as every other ingredient. Using a practical US cup reference, 118 grams of powdered sugar is about 1 cup.
That means 100 grams of powdered sugar is about 0.85 cups, while 200 grams is about 1.69 cups.
Powdered sugar is much lighter than granulated sugar, so the same cup amount does not weigh the same.
To convert grams to cups, divide the gram amount by the grams-per-cup reference for the ingredient. For this page, the working reference is about 118 grams per US cup.
This makes the page useful for quick kitchen checks, but a scale is still the best tool when a recipe depends on tight ratios.
