To the first two answers... you're using wet measurements when you do the "2 cups (8 ounces) = 16 ounces", so that's not neccesarily a pound in weight...

Cups measure volume, not weight, unless you're measuring water or a liquid of similar viscosity. An accurate standard conversion of dry materials is impossible, since everyone packs a cup differently and different sugars have a different density. Your best bet would be to use a kitchen scale for an accurate measurement.
