It is a way to measure the correct amount of sugar. Since brown sugar is kept moist and the water content will vary according to the environmental humidity, it is difficult to measure the exact same amount when fluffy and moist compared to when dry and more compact. So to be sure you are getting a cup each time you want to measure one in different weather and humidity conditions, you use the back of a spoon to press the sugar down into the measuring cup to pack it in and remove all the air trapped by the moisture and be sure the cup measures the same wet or dry to maintain the correct and consistent level of sweetness in the dish.
