of powdered sugar? I'm thinking its 4, I think I've read that some where on here before, but just wanted to get some expert opinions. I just went to sam's club and got a 7 lb bag for around 5 dollars ( i can't remember) exactely I think thats called a brain F**t. Anyway, is 4 cups one lb?
Thanks
I have also bought the 7lb bag of sugar out at my local sams club and when I measured out four cups the consistency did not seem the same as when I just used a one pound box already measured out ... it seemed a little thicker to me ...
1 cup = 8 ozs.
there are 16 ozs. in a pound, however, 16 ozs. of flour, for example, does not weigh a pound....it just measures 16 ozs.
It depends on what you are measuring
I have a bag of Domino 10x cane sugar here, and it says on the bag that it contains 2 pounds, which is approximately 7 1/2 cups. That would make about 3 3/4 cups per pound.
hth!

I buy the same 7 lb bags! I actually went out and bought a digital scale when I took my first cake course. I've measure out the 1 lb boxes as well as measuring what was 1 lb on my scale and I get about 3 3/4 cups.
If you check the 1 lb box, it list serving size in tablespoons and then has servings to box. When you convert the total tablespoons to cups, it comes out to 3 3/4.
I haven't been doing this very long, but I stopped measuring everything for my icing. I might use the recipe as a guide, but heat and humidity messes it up so I just go by the feel of the icing. A scale is a good investment though, especially if you're doing scratch cakes.
