}Explanation
Convert 1 US cup of light brown sugar to ounces by weight with an ingredient-specific cup reference.
The result is mass, not fluid ounces. That is especially useful for cookies, bars, sauces, and baking prep where packed sugar volume can differ sharply from a loose fill. The reverse conversion uses the same ounce-per-cup reference.
