3/4 Cup of Different Ingredients — Weight Comparison
3/4 cup of different ingredients varies widely in weight because each has a different density. This matters when substituting ingredients in recipes.

| Powdered Sugar | 90g |
| Granulated Sugarcurrent | 150g |
| Caster Sugar | 157.5g |
| Brown Sugar (packed) | 165g |

Measuring Granulated Sugar Accurately
Why weight matters: 3/4 cup of granulated sugar can weigh anywhere from 128g to 180g depending on how you measure it. The USDA standard is 150g (spooned and leveled). Scooping directly from the container can add 10–20% extra weight, which affects recipe results — especially in baking.
About granulated sugar density: Granulated white sugar is the most consistent of all sugars — 1 cup = 200g regardless of spooning or packing. The uniform crystal size makes it very consistent to measure. Standard sugar for most baking recipes.
About 3/4 Cup as a Measurement
3/4 cup = 12 tablespoons = 180ml. This is one of the four standard cup measures (1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, 1). Common in cookie recipes where the flour amount sits between 1/2 and 1 full cup.
Three-quarter cup is a frequent flour amount in drop cookies, scones, and coffee cake toppings. At 180ml, it is exactly 3/4 of a standard US cup (240ml) and 12 tablespoons precisely.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is 3/4 cup of granulated sugar?
3/4 cup of granulated sugar weighs 150 grams (5.29 oz, 180ml). Based on USDA FoodData Central: 1 cup granulated sugar = 200g, so 3/4 cup = 200 × 0.750 = 150g.
Is 3/4 cup of granulated sugar the same weight every time?
The weight can vary slightly depending on measuring technique. Spooned and leveled gives 150g. Scooped (packed) can be 10–20% heavier. Sifted gives a lighter weight. The USDA standard (spooned and leveled) of 150g is the most reliable baseline for recipes.
How do I accurately measure 3/4 cup of granulated sugar?
For accuracy, use a kitchen scale and weigh 150g of granulated sugar. If using measuring cups, spoon the granulated sugar lightly into a 3/4 Cup measuring cup and level off the top with a straight edge. Avoid scooping directly from the container, which compacts the ingredient and adds extra weight.
How does 3/4 cup of granulated sugar compare to other ingredients?
3/4 cup of different ingredients varies significantly: Powdered Sugar = 90g, Granulated Sugar = 150g, Caster Sugar = 157.5g. This is because each ingredient has a different density.
