- Reference basis: 113 g per 1 US cup.
- Example: 250 g = 2.21 cups (about 2 1/4 cups).
- Use the reverse page if you need the opposite direction with the same basis.

Explanation
This page handles the reverse question for powdered sugar: starting from weight and estimating US cups. It uses the same cup conversion basis as the mirror page, only in reverse.
That keeps gram-based recipes and cup-based prep aligned to one explicit assumption. That is especially useful for frosting, dusting, fillings, and baking prep where sifted vs unsifted powder can change the measured volume. Very small gram amounts are too little to measure reliably in a cup, so cup measuring only becomes practical at larger weights. Powdered Sugar can clump, aerate, and settle differently depending on how it is sifted or spooned, so the page keeps one explicit basis instead of mixing preparation styles.
