Powered sugar has cornstarch in it. Since it is so much finer than regular sugar, the amount you would have to use is going to make the drink cloudy and taste chalky. I would stick to regular sugar.

∙ 13y agoIcings are made with powdered sugar. Powdered sugar is a very fine grain of sugar that is predominately used in icings, other cake decorations, and as a decoration in and of itself to add a light dusting to baked goods. To make a traditional buttercream icing, here is a good recipe.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine softened
1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (approximately 1 lb.)
2 tablespoons milk
Makes: About 3 cups of icing.
In large bowl, cream shortening and butter with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep bowl covered with a damp cloth until ready to use.
For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.

∙ 16y agoYes, in fact it will dissolve faster. You may have to adjust t he amount used as the volume of sugar in a teaspoon will be slightly different.

∙ 13y agoYes, just be careful because it is very sweet.

∙ 14y agoYes, but it is not good. The cake will be much sweeter, and it will not hold up as well and the texture / taste will be off. It is best to just stick with what the recipe calls for.

Can you substitute powdered sugar for granulated sugar in cake recipes?
Yes you can, but you'll have to use more because of its texture so use 2 cups powdered sugar for every 1 cup granulated sugar. Powder sugar is just granulated sugar that has been spun for a smoother texture. It is usually used for frostings or such.
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.

Can you use regular granulated or powdered sugar in place of superfine?
Powdered sugar has a buffering agent in it that keeps it fluffy and prevents lumps. This means that powdered sugar has a finer texture but doesn't work well in clear drinks, as they won't remain clear, even when the sugar dissolves. Superfine sugar is pure sugar, intended to dissolve easily. It does however have a slightly crunchier texture. So, if you don't mind the texture change, you can substitute superfine when the recipe calls for powedered sugar, but not the other way around.

What is granulated sugar?
AnswerGranulated sugar is most common form in which sugar is distributed to consumers. It's the same stuff you'll find in sugar packets at coffee shops or in the dispensers on tabletops at "family" restaurants.

During the past century, recipes and the names of the recipes would have been exchanged and adapted as immigrants from many areas mingled in Europe and North America.
