Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1/4 cup of caster sugar?
1/4 cup of caster sugar is 55 grams, based on 220 g per level US cup.
Is it different with a UK or Australian cup?
Slightly. UK, Australian and New Zealand recipes use a 250 ml metric cup, which is about 6% bigger than a US cup (236.6 ml). Using a metric cup, 1/4 cup of caster sugar would be 58 g.
Should I weigh caster sugar or measure it by volume?
Sugar is fairly consistent by volume, but sticky syrups cling to the cup – grease it first so you get the full amount out. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
