Measuring granulated sugar accurately
Granulated white sugar is one of the few dry ingredients that measures reliably by cup. Its hard, uniform crystals don't compress the way flour or brown sugar do, so a cup stays close to 200 g however you scoop it — which makes it a safe one to measure by volume when you have no scale. Beyond sweetness, sugar does real structural work: creamed with butter it whips in air for lift, it holds moisture so cakes stay soft for days, and it drives the browning and crisp edges on cookies. Swapping in a different sugar changes all of that at once, so when a recipe specifies granulated, the weight above is the amount it's built around.
Standard white table sugar. Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to get the same result every time is to weigh granulated sugar on a kitchen scale and aim for the gram figure above. The conversions on this page are based on the US cup of about 236.6 ml.
