It's definitely not 454 grams of sugar, that ratio is way off for the amount of flour in this cake recipe.
I might cut the sugar back to 250 grams anyhow simply because most American dessert recipes are too sweet.
When you see discrepancies like this in recipes with two forms of measurement, the safest bet is to use the original unit of measurement rather than the converted amount (the one in parentheses). In this case, 1.5 C. sugar.
Make sure to do a sanity check with a reputable conversion table (like KAF).
