How Many Cups Are in a Pound of Icing Sugar
Next time you’re elbow-deep in a cold butter cut-in or whisking a glaze for glazed donuts, remember: one pound of icing sugar is roughly 3 ½ to 4 cups. Write it on a sticky note. Tape it inside your pantry door. Pass it on to the next generation of bakers.
And if you accidentally use too much? That’s okay. You’ll just have a thicker, sweeter frosting—which is rarely a bad thing. Just call it “rustic” and serve it with a smile. Because at the end of the day, baking is about sharing something warm and homemade. And nobody ever got mad at a little extra sugar in their life.
Now go make that cake. You’ve got this.
