250 grams of powdered sugar equals 2 ⅛ cups (2.08 US cups), based on 120 g per cup (spoon-and-level method). In the kitchen, measure 2 cups + 1 tbsp. For best results, weigh powdered sugar with a scale — cup measurements vary with how the cup is filled.
This is a typical single-recipe amount, where how you fill the cup matters most: scooped powdered sugar can pack 20–30% heavier than spooned.
