How much is 1 ounce of sugar?

1 ounce of sugar (granulated sugar) is 0.14 cups, about 2.36 tablespoons or 7.09 teaspoons. 0.5 ounces of sugar is 0.07 cups and 2 ounces is 0.28 cups. Use the converter below for any amount.

Sugar here means standard white granulated sugar, the everyday sweetener used in cakes, biscuits, sauces, and drinks. One metric cup (250 ml) of granulated sugar weighs around 200 grams or 7.05 ounces. When a recipe lists sugar in cups but you only have kitchen scales, converting by weight keeps the sweetness and structure right.

Granulated sugar settles differently depending on how you scoop and level the cup, so weighing in grams gives more consistent results than volume alone. This page converts sugar between grams, cups, tablespoons, and more for any recipe.

Related Sugar Ingredients

Caster sugar is more finely milled than granulated sugar, so it dissolves faster and is the better choice for meringues and delicate sponges. They are close in weight (225 g vs 200 g per cup); swap 1:1 by volume in most recipes. See caster sugar in ounces.

Brown sugar contains molasses, adding moisture and a caramel flavour that granulated sugar lacks. Packed, it weighs more by cup (220 g vs 200 g), so weigh it when swapping to keep the sweetness and texture on track. See brown sugar in ounces.

Icing sugar is granulated sugar ground to a powder, used for frostings and dusting rather than creaming into batters. It packs lighter (125 g vs 200 g per cup), so the two are not a straight 1:1 swap. See icing sugar in ounces.

Raw sugar is a coarser, less refined cane sugar with larger crystals and a faint molasses taste. It weighs about the same per cup (200 g each) and swaps 1:1 by volume, adding crunch and a subtle caramel note. See our Raw Sugar converter.
