Yes, but only if the recipe calls for that TYPE of sugar.
Powdered sugar should be dusted lightly onto a cake. The slightly moist surface of the cake will hold the sugar in place. If powdered sugar is applied too thickly, the excess should be brushed or shaken off. or USE BUTTER!
Yes, beautifully too. You can use a flour sifter, or a basket strainer with a handle, these are both smaller in size. Put your confectioner (powdered) sugar into this, hold over the cake and gently sift the sifter or shake the basket strainer around it. MAKE SURE YOUR CAKE IS COMPLETELY COOLED. Very important. Or it melts like snow flakes.
Two entirely different ingredients that have nothing to do with each other. To answer your question. No.
cake obviously! but you use butter, sugar, milk and eggs to make cake
Powdered sugar is made by grinding sugar very finely.
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.
Usually one pound of powdered sugar is in a box. Which is about 2 cups.
Powdered sugar contains cornstarch which could alter the texture of the canned goods. So powdered sugar would not be a good choice when canning.
Sure, you can use powdered sugar in Kool-Aid instead of granulated sugar, but be prepared for a sweeter drink since powdered sugar is more concentrated. Just make sure to mix it well to avoid any clumps at the bottom of your glass. Enjoy your sugar rush!
yes it is the same
My recipe uses 6 oz icing sugar (powdered) and 3 oz of caster sugar and it works every time but I think the icing sugar (powdered) is important. Just checked 2 other recipes on www and they both use both types of sugar so I guess you should go and get some.
Yes, you can color powdered sugar to use as a decorative element in baking by mixing it with food coloring or powdered food coloring.
