Does the recipe say 1 cup of sifted sugar or 1 cup sugar (sifted)? If it says (sifted), measure out one cup of sugar and sift it. If it says sifted sugar then measure out one cup of sugar that's already sifted.

If it says "1 cup sifted powdered sugar" it means that you sift it first, and then measure out what you need. If it says "1 cup powdered sugar, sifted" it means you measure it first, and then sift the measured portion before you use it.
