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.

∙ 13y agoIn general yes, but if following a recipy you should go by weight, not volume.
Powder sugar taste slightly different but this is only due to various additives that keep it in powder form. I doubt this will affect the outcome of a cake in any negative way.
Powdered sugar is most often a combination of 98% pure powdered sugar and 2% starch. The starch can be cornstarch but other variations may be used.
The starch is added in order to keep the powdered sugar from forming lumps. This is the only purpose of the starch in this variety of sugar.
Some people say that granulated sugar and powdered sugar is not interchangeable but I personally doubt this very much. It can very well be used as a sweetener in tea and coffee, but the taste of the starch may be slightly noticeable.
I suppose it depends on how desperate you are for the sweet taste, and how sensitive your tastebuds are regarding the starch. Mine are not that fuzzy :-)

Can you use granulated sugar instead of caster sugar in sandwhich cakes?
Yes, you can use granulated sugar as a substitute for castor (caster) sugar in a cake. Caster sugar is a quick dissolving sugar. So it will be necessary to grind standard granulated sugar in a food processor before using as a replacement. A blender can also be used.
Can you use ordinary sugar instead of Castor Sugar?
Castor sugar is a superfine form of regular granulated white sugar (also known as "berry sugar"). Substituting regular sugar in its place can be done for some recipes without any consequence. In other recipes, there can be a difference in the texture of the final product (i.e it may be more gritty instead of smooth).
What is a substitute for sanding 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.

Then place 2 Tbs. cornstarch in the measuring cup before filling with the processed sugar as you measure for your recipe.
Can you substitute granulated sugar for confectioners sugar?
In most things, No. Powdered sugar has cornstarch in it and has much less sweetening for the same amount.Clarification:Powdered (confectioners) sugar has only a minimal amount of cornstarch, which really doesn't affect the sweetness. The cornstarch is added to prevent the powdered sugar from lumping.But, as the answer above states, it usually cannot be used as a substitute for granulated sugar since it can result in the recipe not turning out as well.
