Explanation

Use this page when a recipe gives raw sugar in cups and you need a repeatable gram target. The converter keeps the assumption explicit: 1 level US cup of raw sugar = 180 grams.

That makes recipe scaling easier without switching between inconsistent cup charts. The page stays anchored to the US cup standard (236.588 mL). Raw Sugar can vary with crystal size, moisture, and caking, so the page keeps one explicit basis instead of mixing packing styles.

Method & Density Basis

  • Method basis: cup-to-weight conversion anchored to the US customary cup (≈236.6 mL).
  • Factor used: 180 g per 1 cup (leveled)
  • Consistency rule: direct answer, calculator, FAQ, and table use the same ingredient-specific basis.
