Good to know
Sugar type changes the conversion
Granulated, powdered, and packed brown sugar do not fill a cup the same way. Choosing the exact sugar matters when a recipe moves between volume and weight.
Use a level cup for granulated sugar. When a recipe says packed brown sugar, select that ingredient and press it into the measure as directed.
