- A little over or under won't ruin the bake. An extra spoon makes it sweeter and, with brown sugar, can deepen the colour too.
- Brown sugar is measured packed, so a cup's weight depends on how firmly you press it. This page uses 220 g for a firmly packed metric cup, the figure most recipes assume. Lightly packed it drops to about 200 g. Weigh for the most reliable result.

Related to Brown Sugar
Sugar
Quick swap when you have no molasses. Loses the caramel notes and moisture, so expect a crisper, plainer cookie or cake. Add 1 tbsp extra liquid per cup of sugar to compensate. See our Sugar converter.
Raw Sugar
Raw sugar has a trace of molasses but is dry with hard crystals (200 g vs 220 g per cup). Result is drier and crunchier; works best in toppings and crumbles. See our Raw Sugar converter.
Palm Sugar
Palm sugar has a similar caramel depth to brown sugar but a more complex, earthy flavour from the palm sap. Use the same weight rather than the same cup, since palm sugar runs lighter at 200 g a cup against 220 g. The texture is similar though palm sugar can be coarser in block or granulated forms. See our Palm Sugar converter.
Molasses
Molasses is the syrup that gives brown sugar its colour and caramel flavour. You can add a small amount of molasses to white sugar as a substitute for brown sugar, though the result will be wetter and more intensely flavoured. See our Molasses converter.
