- 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 Brown Sugar Ingredients
White granulated sugar is drier and lighter packed than brown sugar (200 g vs 220 g per cup) and has no molasses flavour. Swapping it in loses the moisture and caramel notes, so weigh when substituting and expect a crisper, plainer result. See what 1 tablespoon of sugar is in grams.
Raw sugar is dry with hard crystals and only a trace of molasses, unlike soft, moist brown sugar. It packs lighter (200 g vs 220 g per cup), so weigh when swapping and expect a drier, crunchier result. See what 1 tablespoon of raw sugar is in grams.
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 what 1 tablespoon of molasses is in grams.
