400 Grams of Sugar to Cups
400 grams of granulated sugar equals 2 cups (2 US cups), based on 200 g per cup (level cup). In the kitchen, measure 2 cups. For best results, weigh granulated sugar with a scale — cup measurements vary with how the cup is filled.

How to measure 400 g of granulated sugar without a scale
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.
