How many tablespoons is 100 grams of sifted powdered sugar?
Answer
One US tablespoon (14.8 ml) of sifted powdered sugar weighs 6.25 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169656 “Sugars, powdered”, portion “1 cup sifted” = 100 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons.
100 grams of sifted powdered sugar equals 16 US tablespoons; the way back, from tablespoons to grams, is the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
Unsifted powdered sugar weighs 7.5 grams per tablespoon, so the same 100 grams of it is 13.3 tablespoons.
The same 100 grams of sifted powdered sugar is 1 US cup or 48 US teaspoons.
This is the level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. The metric tablespoon of 15 ml (UK, New Zealand, Canada) is 1.4 % larger and takes 15.8 tablespoons; the Australian tablespoon of 20 ml is 35.3 % larger, so the same weight fills only 11.8 tablespoons of those.
How 100 grams of sifted powdered sugar was converted to tablespoons
A tablespoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US tablespoon of sifted powdered sugar weighs 6.25 grams (six point two five), so divide 100 by 6.25.
100 g ÷ 6.25 g
=16 tablespoons
(sixteen tablespoons)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 169656 “Sugars, powdered”, portion “1 cup sifted” = 100 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a tablespoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

The other way round: how many grams in a tablespoon
This page starts from grams and answers in tablespoons. The opposite question — how many grams a recipe’s tablespoons weigh, fractions like 1/2 and 2 1/2 included — is what the tablespoons to grams converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: one US tablespoon of sifted powdered sugar is 6.25 grams there and here.
