Powdered sugar is mostly very finly ground sugar and can be used as a sweetener like granulated sugar, but it usually contains some corn starch or wheat flour that wouldn't be desirable in a beverage. Also, due to it's fineness and general clumpiness, it may be more difficult to get it to dissolve in some cases.

Yes, I guess you could, but it’s way better to use cane or brown sugar.
Personally, I like cane better because it keeps the original color of the lemonade.

Does powdered sugar taste the same when baked as granulated sugar?
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.
Is confectioners' sugar same as pure sugar?
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.

Can substitute granulated sugar for powdered sugar in key lime pie?
No. Powdered sugar absorbs water, whereas granulated sugar does not. This makes a huge difference in baking, since interchanging these can turn the texture into something brick-like. (It is similar to attempting to substitute sweetcorn kernals for cornflour).
How much powdered sugar would i need to be equal to 1 cup on regular sugar.?
First, powdered sugar is not simply pulverized granulated sugar. There is cornstarch added to keep the extremely fine "regular" sugar from sticking together. Second, just from calorie count, one would need 50 - 75 percent more powdered sugar. Third, it tastes different. I know this from experience...ran out of granulated sugar...replaced it with powdered sugar...threw out my cup of tea! Finally, it's considerably more expensive. I would consider replacing powdered sugar with granulated--blend in blender until the consistency is correct and there is the amount you need. If it is being used in something that requires a bit of thickening, add small amounts of cornstarch until reaching the desired thickness. As a baker with over 35 years of experience, I would not substitute powdered for granulated sugar.

Icing sugar, also called confectioner's sugar and powdered sugar, is very finely powdered refined white sugar, with a small amount of cornstarch added. You can process regular granulated white sugar to a very fine powder in a blender, food processor or whirligig coffee grinder. Then place 2 Tbs. cornstarch in the measuring cup before filling with the processed sugar as you measure for your recipe.

I wouldn't. You are likely to wind up with a saggy, disappointing mess. Powdered sugar dissolves instantly. Granulated does not. Follow the directions for the whipped cream you are making.

Is the muscovado sugar can be a substitute for the powdered sugar?
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.
