Example: using demerara sugar in a recipe
If a recipe asks for 1 1/2 cups of demerara sugar, that is 1.5 x 220 g, or about 330 g. If a recipe gives 200 g and you only have cups, divide 200 by 220 to get about 7/8 cups.
How to measure demerara sugar
Spoon the demerara sugar into a dry cup and level it. Brown sugar is the exception, which recipes normally ask you to pack firmly until it holds its shape when tipped out. Lumpy sugars such as powdered sugar should be stirred or sifted first.
