3/4 Cup of Sugar in Grams
3/4 cup of granulated sugar weighs 150 grams (about 5.3 oz), based on 200 g per US cup (level cup). That's the same as 12 tablespoons of granulated sugar. 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 (100 g + 50 g), or as 3 × 1/4 cup (50 g each).

No 3/4 cup measure? Use spoons
3/4 cup is exactly 12 tablespoons, which is 150 g of granulated sugar. Measuring spoons are stamped to a tighter tolerance than cups, so for small amounts the spoon route is usually the more accurate one even when you do own the cup.
Halving and doubling 3/4 cup
Scaling a recipe is the usual reason this conversion comes up, and grams scale cleanly where cup fractions do not:
| Recipe | Cups | Grams | Spoons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half | ⅜ cup | 75 g | 6 tablespoons |
| As written | ¾ cup | 150 g | 12 tablespoons |
| Double | 1 ½ cups | 300 g | 24 tablespoons |

How to measure 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
Granulated sugar flows evenly, so scoop-and-level is fine — it settles to nearly the same weight however you fill the cup. That makes sugar the most forgiving ingredient to measure by volume; a level cup is 200 g within a gram or two.
