}Explanation
Use the same 213 g per US cup reference to express dark brown sugar weight as US cups.
Gram-based recipes and cup-based prep therefore use one explicit assumption. That is especially useful for cookies, bars, sauces, and baking prep where packed sugar volume can differ sharply from a loose fill. Very small gram amounts are too little to measure reliably in a cup, so cup measuring only becomes practical at larger weights. Dark Brown Sugar can vary a lot with moisture and packing pressure, so the page keeps one firmly packed basis instead of mixing loose and packed outcomes.
