Two entirely different ingredients that have nothing to do with each other. To answer your question. No.
no because they cake will come out sticky and you will not be able to cut the cake and your cake will be to sweet and will taste like honey.
yes, it turns out better
Yes, but only if the recipe calls for that TYPE of sugar.
yes it is the same
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.
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.
sugar or just mix sugar with cornstarch
Just about 2 1/3 cups of granulated sugar = 4 cups of powdered sugar. Use the blender method.
Um, yes. Confectioners sugar is the same thing as powdered sugar - just a different name.
Yes
No, powdered sugar is best for the royal icing that goes on the cookie as decoration. For the actual cookie, use plain granulated sugar.
i would not use granulated sugar while making buttercream icing. i would only use icing sugar. icing sugar usually has cornstarch mixed in with the powdered sugar. even if you added cornstarch to granulated sugar it would still give you a completely different texture than icing sugar...it would feel very gritty.
It depends on the powder. It is powdered sugar or powdered lead? One will be much much heavier than the other. You need to know the density of the powder to answer this question.
