Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this weight ounces or fluid ounces?

It is weight ounces. This page converts cup volume into ingredient mass, not fluid ounces.

Do sifting or clumping change the result for Powdered Sugar?

Powdered Sugar keeps one reference basis here, but sifting, clumping, and aeration can change how the powder fills a spoon or cup. Keep the measuring method consistent if you want repeatable baking results.
