SwitchExplanation
Use this page when a recipe gives powdered sugar in cups and you need a repeatable gram target. The converter keeps the assumption explicit: 1 level US cup of powdered sugar = 113 grams.
That makes recipe scaling easier without switching between inconsistent cup charts. The page stays anchored to the US cup standard (236.588 mL). Powdered Sugar can clump, aerate, and settle differently depending on how it is sifted or spooned, so the page keeps one explicit basis instead of mixing preparation styles.
