How to Correctly Measure Brown Sugar
Baking recipes that specify volume for brown sugar almost always mean "packed" brown sugar. Press the sugar firmly into the measuring cup with the back of a spoon or fingers until it holds the shape of the cup when inverted.
Culinary Notes & Baker's Tips
Light and dark brown sugar have virtually the same weight per cup (dark brown sugar has a slightly higher molasses content, but difference in density is negligible for home baking).
