Best Answer: Powdered (Confectioners or Icing) Sugar: 1 cup = 115 grams 1 pound = 4 cups sifted or 4 1/2 cups unsifted. Source(s): Joy of baking website: http://www.joyofbaking.com/sugar.html.
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. You most often find it in one-pound or two-pound bags, boxes, or canisters in grocery stores these days. 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.
