Because powdered sugar is so fine and has cornstarch in it, it is not going to be as sweet as regular sugar. I'm guessing, but it would take like a cup and a half or more of powdered sugar to sweeten the same as 1 cup of regular sugar. The cornstarch would be a factor also possibly making the cake denser or tougher.
Just about 2 1/3 cups of granulated sugar = 4 cups of powdered sugar. Use the blender method.
It's one of those funky things that settle after a while, so you can't just measure it and call it done. You'll need a scale.
No, you can't. Muscovado is another name for minimally processed or "raw" sugar. I nickname that stuff "eye-boogers" because it looks like the stuff you wipe out of your eyes when you wake up lol. Because of muscovado's coarseness, massive size granules and lack of thickener (in comparison to powdered sugar), it is NOT a suitable substitute in recipes that call for powdered sugar. You can TRY to make powder of it with 2 parts sugar/1 part cornstarch IF and only if you have a food processor. But I can't recommend it as that's something even I have never tried before. I can't really help much further because you didn't describe what recipe you're trying to substitute powdered sugar for or why you need to substitute it.
3 1/2 cups confectionery sugar = 1 pound

Ingredients
Stir together confectioners sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth; drizzle over warm rolls.
In general, the type of sugar used will affect the end product in baking, and substitutions don't tend to work well.
....
if you are making the baked kind i think granulated might be the best to use, but if ur making the non baked kind powdered sugar is definitely the best..
eHow (and confirmed by Domino) says 1c graunular sugar can be substituted for 1 3/4 c confectioner sugar, but comments say way too sweet and recommendations were made to not substitute in puddings/sauces as powdered sugar has a bit of cornstarch.
curdling is the process of lactic acid bacteria processing the protein called casein in milk to make cheese. butter is the fat from milk but it will still have traces of the protein, casein. if left at a comfortable temperature and good conditions, some species of bacteria from the family of streptococcus(family of lactic acid bacteria) can still process the casein in the butter.
I guess you could - just use twice as much. But it might make the filling cloudy-looking. MUCH better to substitute the same amount of brown sugar (1 c. if the recipe calls for 1 c. of granulated sugar). Brown sugar has a hint of molasses that makes the pecan pie richer.
a half cup made some just now taste really good -_-
ANSWER
1 US teaspoon of granulated sugar contains 4.16 g
4.16 g of of powdered sugar = 1 2/3 US teaspoons
Confectioners sugar (also called Powdered sugar) differs from "regular sugar" (Granulated sugar) in two ways. Confectioners sugar it's milled to a much finer grain and, and it has cornstarch in it to prevent caking.
If you run of of Granulated sugar, you can substitute with Confectioners sugar. Multiply the amount of granulated sugar needed by 1.75. It takes 1 3/4 cup of powdered sugar to substitute for 1 cup of granulated sugar.
Yes, you can use caster sugar instead of granulated sugar. However, be careful on the measurements. Use a little less caster sugar. Caster sugar is finer granulated sugar. It is not as fine as powdered sugar, but it is in between granulated and powder. Caster sugar dissolves more easily,so it is very beneficial in making meringues.
Domino's confectioner's sugar boxes are 1 pound (16 oz., 2 C.).
