How many grams is 7/8 cup of sifted powdered sugar?
How many grams is 7/8 cup of sifted powdered sugar?
Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of sifted powdered sugar weighs 100 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169656 “Sugars, powdered”, portion “1 cup sifted” = 100 grams.
7/8 cup of sifted powdered sugar equals 87.5 grams; the way back, from grams to cups, is the Grams to Cups converter.
Unsifted powdered sugar weighs 120 grams per cup, so 7/8 cup of it is 105 grams.
This is the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A recipe written for the metric cup of 250 ml (Australia, New Zealand, Canada) means 5.7 % more: 92.5 grams.
How 7/8 cup of sifted powdered sugar was converted to grams
One US cup of sifted powdered sugar weighs 100 grams (one hundred), so multiply 7/8 by 100.
7/8 × 100 g
=87.5 grams
(eighty-seven point five grams)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169656 “Sugars, powdered”, portion “1 cup sifted” = 100 grams. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a cup weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.
