Light Brown Sugar (Packed) — Frequently Asked Questions
200 grams of light brown sugar (packed) is exactly 1 US cup.
Light brown sugar has about 3.5% molasses; dark brown sugar has about 6.5% molasses. Dark brown sugar is denser (220g/cup packed vs 200g/cup), moister, and has a stronger caramel flavour.
Yes, with minor flavour differences. Dark brown sugar produces more intense molasses flavour. To substitute, use the same gram weight of light brown sugar and add 1 teaspoon of molasses per cup.
Place the hardened brown sugar in a microwave-safe bowl with a damp paper towel, cover, and microwave in 20-second intervals until softened. Or store an apple slice or terra cotta disc with the sugar overnight.
Unpacked light brown sugar weighs about 130-155g per cup — significantly less than the 200g packed measurement. This would result in noticeably less sweetness and less moisture in the final baked good.
