Why Weigh Raw Sugar in Grams?
When a recipe calls for 2 cups of raw sugar, using a kitchen scale to measure exactly 400 grams will give you far more consistent results than volume measurement alone. This is because raw sugar can be packed, sifted, or scooped differently each time, leading to weight variations of up to 20%.
How to Measure Raw Sugar by Weight
Place your mixing bowl on a digital kitchen scale and press "tare" to zero it out. Then add raw sugar until the scale reads 400g. This method is faster than measuring cups and eliminates the guesswork entirely.
Also Known As
Raw Sugar is sometimes referred to as turbinado sugar, demerara sugar. The same conversion of 200g per cup applies regardless of the name used.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the density of raw sugar (200g per cup) is consistent across brands. Minor variations of ±5% may occur depending on grind, moisture, and how the ingredient is packed into the cup — which is exactly why weighing with a scale is recommended.
If measuring by cups, whether you sift can change the weight by 10-20%. When measuring by weight (400g), sifting doesn't affect accuracy since you're targeting an exact gram amount regardless of volume.
This conversion uses the US standard cup (236.6ml, commonly rounded to 240ml). If you're using a metric cup (250ml), the weight will be slightly higher. For perfect accuracy, always use a kitchen scale.
