In practice
Light brown sugar has a modest amount of molasses (about 3.5%), giving a gentle caramel note and softness to cookies and cakes. A firmly packed cup weighs about 213 g here. It is the default brown sugar in most American recipes, so when a recipe just says 'brown sugar', this is usually what is meant. Pack it into the cup so there are no air gaps, and weigh it when accuracy matters, since loosely packed cups vary by 20% or more.
