Batch Scaling Around 450g Granulated White Sugar
| Batch Scale | Weight (g / oz) | US Cups & Spoons | Metric (mL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half Batch (0.5×) | 225g (7.94 oz) | 1 ⅛ cups | 266.2 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 450g (15.87 oz) | 2 ¼ cups | 532.3 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 675g (23.81 oz) | 3 ⅓ cups + 2 tsp | 798.5 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 900g (31.75 oz) | 4 ½ cups | 1064.6 mL |
| Triple Batch (3×) | 1350g (47.62 oz) | 6 ¾ cups | 1597 mL |
Measuring 450g of Granulated White Sugar in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of granulated white sugar weighs 200g when measured poured or spooned & leveled, 450 Grams (450g) translates to 2.25 US cups (2 ¼ cups). By contrast, using the dip scooped measure (210g/cup — a 10g per-cup shift), 450g occupies 2 cups + 2 tbsp + ¾ tsp (2.14 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 2 ¼ cups (36 tablespoons total) using poured or spooned & leveled technique. Pour sugar directly into the measuring cup and level with a flat blade. Dry granulated sucrose crystals flow freely without trapping excessive air.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cups is 450 grams of granulated white sugar? ▾
450 grams of granulated white sugar (poured or spooned & leveled, 200g per US cup) equals 2 ¼ cups (2.25 US Customary Cups, 2.13 Metric 250 mL cups, or 36 tablespoons).
Why does granulated sugar weigh exactly 200 grams per cup? ▾
Pure sucrose crystals pack into a uniform bulk density of approximately 0.85 g/cm³, arriving reliably at 200g per US cup.
Does granulated sugar absorb moisture from the air? ▾
Yes, prolonged humidity causes surface dissolution and clumping; store in a dry, sealed airtight canister.
