Measuring 350g of Dark Brown Sugar in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of dark brown sugar weighs 213g when measured firmly packed, 350 Grams (350g) translates to 1.64 US cups (1 ½ cups + 2 tbsp + ¾ tsp). By contrast, using the unpacked / loose measure (150g/cup — a 63g per-cup shift), 350g occupies 2 ⅓ cups (2.33 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ½ cups + 2 tbsp + ¾ tsp (26.29 tablespoons total) using firmly packed technique. Pack firmly into the measuring cup to press out all air pockets. Dark brown sugar contains approximately 6.5% molasses, making it denser and stickier than light brown sugar.
