Granulated sugars are levelled; brown sugar is packed firmly into the cup. Syrups are easiest to measure in a lightly oiled cup.
Recipes almost always mean packed brown sugar. Loosely spooned it weighs about 150 g per cup.
Also called: light or dark brown sugar.
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight chart. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of brown sugar (packed) weighs about 213 g (7.5 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 225 g.
1 level tablespoon of brown sugar (packed) is about 13 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 4.4 g.
