Batch Scaling Around 225g Granulated White Sugar
| Batch Scale | Weight (g / oz) | US Cups & Spoons | Metric (mL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half Batch (0.5×) | 112.5g (3.97 oz) | ½ cup + 1 tbsp | 133.1 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 225g (7.94 oz) | 1 ⅛ cups | 266.2 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 337.5g (11.9 oz) | 1 ⅔ cups + 1 tsp | 399.2 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 450g (15.87 oz) | 2 ¼ cups | 532.3 mL |
| Triple Batch (3×) | 675g (23.81 oz) | 3 ⅓ cups + 2 tsp | 798.5 mL |
Measuring 225g 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, 225 Grams (225g) translates to 1.13 US cups (1 ⅛ cups). By contrast, using the dip scooped measure (210g/cup — a 10g per-cup shift), 225g occupies 1 cup + 1 tbsp + ½ tsp (1.07 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ⅛ cups (18 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 225 grams of granulated white sugar? ▾
225 grams of granulated white sugar (poured or spooned & leveled, 200g per US cup) equals 1 ⅛ cups (1.13 US Customary Cups, 1.06 Metric 250 mL cups, or 18 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.
