1 cup of dark brown sugar (packed) weighs 220 grams. Dark brown sugar contains more molasses than light brown sugar, making it richer in flavour and slightly more moist. Always pack it firmly into the cup when measuring — an unpacked cup can weigh as little as 160g versus 220g packed.
For the most accurate results, weigh your dark brown sugar with a digital kitchen scale — the values below assume a level, unpacked cup.

Common mistakes to avoid with dark brown sugar
- Using dark brown sugar when the recipe specifies light brown — dark brown has more molasses and adds stronger flavour and more moisture.
- Not packing dark brown sugar when measuring by cup — packed is the standard for brown sugar measurements; an unpacked cup can weigh 30–40% less.
- Storing dark brown sugar without an airtight seal, which causes it to harden into a solid brick within days.
