Not really; sugars other than powdered do not dissolve when used in a mixture that is not heated (such as icing). If the recipe already involves brown sugar, you can increase the quantity slightly without too many side-effects. However replacing powdered sugar (completely) with brown is likely to yield undesirable results; powdered sugar helps add 'smoothness' to icing, so without this you may end up with a very brown granular icing (that may not set adequately). If the recipe does not call for brown sugar at all, definitely do not add it.

Can icing sugar be used instead of granulated sugar for baking cake?
Not unless the cake recipe specifically calls for icing sugar. Granulated sugar has a specific weight to measured volume and will provide that specific quantity and sweetness to the cake. Icing sugar has a different weight to volume, different texture and a different level of sweetness. It is important to use the specific ingredient called for in the recipe being followed in order to obtain the proper result.
