Weight to cup measure can have slight variations, but a scant 3-1/2 cups
equals approximately 1-1/2 pounds of granulated sugar.

From what I've read on several websites, including C&H Sugar, there are 2
cups of *superfine* sugar to a pound and 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 cups of
"granulated* sugar to the pound.

This recipe calls for *granulated* sugar and I've made it many times using
a scant 3-1/2 cups of sugar when a scale wasn't available.

Thanks for the info, I use cookbook, not usually websites, for
traditional information, so hadn't seen this.

Ellen, that's what led me to the web. I found what I thought was
conflicting information in several of my cookbooks, so went off
investigating. It made me realize that cookbooks are not necessarily
"standardized".
