About brown sugar measurements
Brown sugar is the classic 'packed' ingredient: recipes assume it is pressed firmly into the cup, giving a density near 0.93 g/ml, about 220 g per US cup. Measured loose it can weigh nearly half as much, since the moist, sticky crystals cling into air-filled clumps unless compacted.
