How many cups of flour are in a 5-pound bag? Quick Answer. A five-pound bag of all-purpose flour can contain anywhere from 15 to 20 cups of flour. This estimate will vary slightly depending on the type of flour, the brand name and whether or not the flour is sifted when retrieved from the bag.
The problem, of course, is that a one-pound box is no longer the only  or even the most common  way to purchase powdered sugar.

Just as with flour, a pound of confectioner's sugar can take up more or less space depending on how it is scooped and measured. If you mash it into measuring cups, it takes up about 3-1/2 cups. If you gently scoop it, it takes up four. Our quibble is with that extra half-cup. A lot of recipes that call for confectioner's sugar ask you to add most of it, holding a bit in reserve in case you need to thicken whatever it is you're making.
