Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike white sugar or powdered sugar, brown sugar retains a certain amount of molasses, making it relatively moist. The molasses causes the sugar to clump together, so when you measure brown sugar, it’s necessary to pack it into the dry measuring cup or measuring tool you’re using to prevent air pockets.

Detailed explanation-2: -Brown sugar is measured a little differently. Pack brown sugar firmly into a dry measuring cup with a back of a spoon until it’s level with the cup’s rim. Brown sugar should hold the shape of the measuring cup when you turn it out.

Detailed explanation-3: -It’s regular white sugar with a little molasses added. Soft light brown sugar. This is white sugar with added molasses and glycerol. The glycerol prevents sugar crystallisation and helps to keep it soft and moist.

Detailed explanation-4: -Packing brown sugar is a crucial component in making a consistent baking measurement. Packing brown sugar presses out all of those small pockets of air that get trapped between the sticky sugar granules, and in-turn will ensure that your sweet treat comes out as just that-sweet!

Detailed explanation-5: -As a rule, 1 cup of sugar weighs 200 grams. If you are measuring brown sugar and you pack the brown sugar tightly into the cup measure, 1 cup of brown sugar will weigh 220 grams, if not more. Remember 1 cup of packed brown sugar weighs 220 grams.
