Measuring 200g of powdered sugar without a scale

No scale? 200 g of powdered sugar is about 1⅔ cups (1.67 cups), or roughly 1 cup + 11 tablespoons using standard US measuring cups and spoons. Spoon it in and level off the top instead of scooping, which packs in extra.

Two hundred grams comes to 1.67 US cups, the kind of larger quantity you reach for when frosting a two-layer cake or whipping up a full batch of buttercream for an eight-inch round. Think one cup plus two-thirds of another. At this volume the scoop-and-compact error compounds fast, so a 20-gram overshoot is realistic and will leave your frosting grainy and stiff. A scale keeps a batch this size consistent from one bake to the next.
