One cup, side by side
Is white sugar measured packed or levelled?
Levelled. King Arthur lists granulated white sugar at 198 g per cup with no packing instruction attached — unlike brown sugar, which the same chart marks “packed”. The absence is meaningful: 198 g is a cup filled and levelled off, not pressed down.
