I am getting ready to make Crusting Cream Cheese and it calls for 3 lbs of powder sugar. I bought my powdered sugar in a big bag and I was wondering if anyone knew how many cups of powdered sugar is in a pound? Thanks in advance!
Four cups per pound of powdered sugar. But powdered sugar is one of those things it's more accurate to weigh out instead of measure by volume.
2 cups = 16oz
so the 3lbs would be approx 6 cups
Not so with powdered sugar. Because of it's light volume, 2 cups = 8oz. Four cups to a pound of powdered sugar. Three pounds of powdered sugar is approximately 12 cups.
DianeLM is correct. I always buy powdered sugar in bulk and measure it out. Recipes work great with 4 cups equaling one pound.
get yourself a good quality digital scale. You will save so much time and effort by weighing ingredients (and much more accurate measurements) instead of measuring out in cups.
2 cups = 16oz
so the 3lbs would be approx 6 cups
2 cups of feathers or 2 cups of metal screws?

Look on the bag under nutritional info to get an idea of weight/volume.
My 7-lb bag of p.sugar says a serving is 1/4 cup and there are 106 servings in the bag.
Do the math ...... that means there are 26.5 cups in a 7-lb bag, which means there are 3.78 cups per pound.
3.78 x 3 = 11.34 cups (or approx 12 cups as the other poster said).
