Brown Sugar — Frequently Asked Questions

How many cups is 220 grams of brown sugar?+

220 grams of brown sugar is 1 cup firmly packed. Loosely filled, 1 cup holds only 155g. Most US baking recipes mean packed.

How many cups is 155 grams of brown sugar?+

155 grams of brown sugar is 1 loosely filled cup — spooned without pressing. Recipes almost always require the packed method (220g per cup).

What does packed brown sugar mean?+

Packed means pressing brown sugar firmly into the measuring cup until it holds the shape of the cup when turned out. Loosely filled cups are 30–40% lighter than properly packed ones.

Light vs dark brown sugar — same measurement?+

Close but not identical. Light brown sugar packed: ~200g/cup. Dark brown sugar packed: ~220g/cup. The extra molasses in dark brown sugar makes it stickier and slightly denser.

Can I substitute brown sugar for white sugar?+

Yes, at the same gram weight. Brown sugar adds molasses flavour and moisture. Baked goods will be slightly denser and chewier with a caramel note.

How do I fix hardened brown sugar?+

Place in a microwave-safe bowl with a damp paper towel, cover, and microwave in 20-second intervals. Or place an apple slice in the container overnight to restore moisture.
