  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake. An extra spoon mainly makes it sweeter.

Raw sugar is a coarse, lightly processed cane sugar with large golden crystals and a faint molasses taste, popular for sprinkling over muffins and scones or stirring into coffee. One metric cup (250 ml) of raw sugar weighs around 200 grams or 7.05 ounces. When a recipe calls for raw sugar in cups but you only have scales, converting by weight keeps the sweetness and texture right.

The big crystals of raw sugar trap air and pack unevenly in a cup, so weighing in grams is more reliable than scooping. This page converts raw sugar between grams, cups, tablespoons, and more for any recipe.

White granulated sugar is more refined with finer crystals and no molasses notes. It packs slightly heavier (201 g vs 200 g per cup) and swaps 1:1 by volume, though you lose the crunch and faint caramel flavour raw sugar gives. See our Sugar converter.

Brown sugar is soft and moist with added molasses, while raw sugar is dry with hard crystals. Brown sugar packs heavier (220 g vs 200 g per cup), so weigh when swapping and expect a moister, softer crumb. See our Brown Sugar converter.

Caster sugar is finely milled and dissolves fast, the opposite of raw sugar's coarse crystals. Caster is heavier by cup (225 g vs 200 g), so it is not a 1:1 swap by volume; weigh when substituting. See our Caster Sugar converter.

Icing sugar is ground to a fine powder for frostings and dusting, far smoother than raw sugar's large crystals. It packs much lighter (125 g vs 200 g per cup), so the two are not a straight swap. See our Icing Sugar converter.

Palm sugar is made from palm tree sap and shares raw sugar's coarseness and weight per cup (200 g). Palm sugar has a deeper, more complex flavour with earthy notes not found in raw sugar. See our Palm Sugar converter.
