Measuring 150g of Caster / Superfine Sugar in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of caster / superfine sugar weighs 225g when measured poured & leveled, 150 Grams (150g) translates to 0.67 US cups (⅔ cup). By contrast, using the spooned into cup measure (215g/cup — a 10g per-cup shift), 150g occupies ⅔ cup + 1 ½ tsp (0.70 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅔ cup (10.67 tablespoons total) using poured & leveled technique. Pour and level flat. Because the micro-granules pack closer together than regular granulated sugar, 1 cup weighs a dense 225 grams.
