How many cups or ounces are in a box of powdered sugar? I guessed 16
oz, but I was probably wrong since my frosting was very runny. |

Boxes of powdered sugar typically contain 16 ounces (1 pound weight). Bags vary by size, but are usually in increments of a pound. I usually buy a 2 pound bag (32 ounces). Wayne |

What were the other ingredients in the frosting? Butter maybe? From experience, if you get butter more liqued than softened, you end up with runny frosting. IMO, this has more of an impact than the amount of powdered sugar. |

I was using a recipe that called for a box of powdered sugar and the
recipe didn't have the equivalent in ounces or cups. I had a used 32 ounce bag, no scale and too lazy to go the grocery store since it was late at night. Since there are 8 ounces in a cup, I thought I'd try 16 ounces by volume. I know 16 ounces by volume is not the same as 16 ounces by weight, so I was wondering if 1). how many cups\ounces were in a box.

According to issue number 6 of Everyday Food, a 1 lb. box of powdered sugar is equal to 3 and 2/3's cups. If you used two cups, you were off by 1 2/3's cups... |
