3/4 Cup of Brown Sugar in Grams
3/4 cup of brown sugar (packed) weighs 160 grams (about 5.6 oz), based on 213 g per US cup (packed into the cup). That's the same as 12 tablespoons of brown sugar (packed). When a recipe's outcome depends on accuracy — especially baking — weigh it instead of measuring by cup.
Almost no measuring set has a 3/4 cup. Build it as 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup (107 g + 53 g), or as 3 × 1/4 cup (53 g each).
