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.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 250 ml of White sugar?
250 ml of White sugar is 1.06 cups. Cups, millilitres, tablespoons and teaspoons all measure volume, so this figure is the same whatever is in the cup — a US cup is 236.588 ml, 16 tablespoons and 48 teaspoons by definition. What the ingredient changes is the weight: a cup of White sugar is 198 g.
How many ml is 1 cup of White sugar?
1 cup of White sugar is 236.6 ml. It is the same conversion read backwards, so this page and its reverse always agree.
Is one millilitre of White sugar the same as one gram?
No — that holds for water alone. White sugar works out at 0.837 g/ml, so 100 ml of it weighs 83.69 g rather than 100 g. A converter that assumes a millilitre is a gram is really only telling you about water.
Where does dishscale's figure for White sugar come from?
One US cup of White sugar is 198 g. The dataset records that as: “King Arthur Baking”. That is the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart. Every ingredient on the site carries the reference its weight came from, so any number here can be checked — and corrected if the source disagrees.
