70 Grams of Sugar to Cups
70 grams of granulated sugar equals ⅓ cup (0.35 US cups), based on 200 g per cup (level cup). In the kitchen, measure 6 tbsp. For best results, weigh granulated sugar with a scale — cup measurements vary with how the cup is filled.
Small amounts like this fit in a single cup measure with room to spare; the fraction matters more than the cup, so level carefully.

How to measure 70 g of granulated sugar without a scale
