160 Grams of Sugar to Cups
160 grams of granulated sugar equals ¾ cup (0.8 US cups), based on 200 g per cup (level cup). In the kitchen, measure 13 tbsp. For best results, weigh granulated 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: a level, consistent fill keeps batches repeatable.

How to measure 160 g of granulated sugar without a scale
