I wasn't aware that it did, but it would be there to keep it a powder. The cornstarch would coat the sugar crystals and keep them from sticking together.

What type of sugar includes a small amount of cornstarch to prevent lumping while mixing?
Powdered Sugar
Is there a difference between powdered sugar and confectioners sugar?
No, it's the same thing. It's a finely ground sugar with a small amount of cornstarch added.YESNo. Powdered sugar is much more fine, and used for different purposes than confectioner's sugar.
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.
