Why weight beats volume for brown sugar
A cup is a volume; a recipe cares about mass. Brown sugar runs about 220 g per US cup measured spoon-and-level, but packing, humidity, and grind can move that by ±10%. Weighing removes the guesswork, which is exactly why serious baking recipes list grams.
Measured firmly packed, the standard for brown sugar in US recipes.
