One US cup of white sugar (granulated) weighs about 200 grams. That works out to 12.5 g per tablespoon and 4.17 g per teaspoon. Scoop and level; packed sugar weighs more. Weights vary slightly by brand, moisture, and how tightly you pack - for precise baking, a kitchen scale beats volume measures.
About 200 grams, scoop-and-level for dry ingredients. Scoop and level; packed sugar weighs more.
One US tablespoon (15 mL) of white sugar (granulated) is about 12.5 grams. A teaspoon is 4.17 g.
Dry ingredients are weighed by how they pack into the cup volume. White Sugar (Granulated) has an apparent density of about 0.85 g/mL - lighter than water - depending on particle size and air gaps.
100 g ÷ 200 g/cup ≈ 0.50 cups - about a little less than a full cup. The reverse table on this page covers 25-1000 g.
Weighing is more accurate - volume measures vary with how you scoop, pack, and level, and brands differ by 5-15%. For cookies and cakes where ratios matter, grams are the professional standard. The tables here convert either direction.
