Dark Brown Sugar (Packed): Grams to Cups

Convert grams of packed dark brown sugar to cups. 1 US cup (packed) = 220g. Dark brown sugar has a higher molasses content than light brown sugar, giving it a rich, deep caramel and molasses flavour.

Dark brown sugar (220g/cup packed) is denser than light brown sugar (200g/cup packed) because the additional molasses creates stickier, heavier crystals. It adds deep colour and intense molasses flavour to gingerbread, pecan pie, BBQ sauce, and caramel.
