Because powdered sugar is so fine and has cornstarch in it, it is not going to be as sweet as regular sugar. I'm guessing, but it would take like a cup and a half or more of powdered sugar to sweeten the same as 1 cup of regular sugar. The cornstarch would be a factor also possibly making the cake denser or tougher.

Is powdered sugar equivalent to granulated sugar?

No... Powdered sugar is icing sugar. Granulated sugar is white sugar that is in granules. Chemically they are identical. The difference is in the physical structure. You can create your own powdered sugar by using a blender and granulated sugar. It won't be as fine, but it will be closer.

Is there any difference between granulated and extra fine granular sugar?

Superfine sugar- or Bartender's sugar, is more course than powdered sugar. Superfine sugar is similar to castor sugar (and can substitute each other), but if I were to put it in order, Superfine would have the largest granules, and powdered sugar would have the smallest. Powdered sugar cannot be substituted with superfine sugar, or castor sugar, since it's too fine :3.


Can you use granulated sugar to replace powdered ones?

No, you cannot substitute granulated sugar for powdered sugar directly. However, you can make your own powdered sugar from granulated sugar using a BLENDER. Run the granulated sugar through a BLENDER until it reaches the proper consistency. It is important to stir the sugar up from the bottom manually at least twice during the process to ensure all sugar is processed properly. In doing this, however, you might find the end product to be slightly different in taste or consistency. Things to consider when you substitute: powdered sugar is sugar of a very fine consistency mixed with a little cornstarch to prevent clumping. This makes it smoother for frosting mixes. It is the cornstarch that will make some uncooked things come out a little cloudy looking if you substitute, and would usually make cooked things a little thicker. You may detect the flavor difference imparted by the cornstarch in some things.

Can you use demerara sugar instead of granulated for baking?

Yes you could, BUT demerara sugar is less refined than granulated sugar and will therefore impart a molasses like taste and a brown colour to the product being baked when using it. This is good in some cases (eg a fruit cake) but not desirable in others (eg a Victoria sandwich).


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.


What are the differences between cane sugar and granulated sugar in terms of taste, texture, and nutritional value?

Cane sugar and granulated sugar are both types of sucrose, but cane sugar is derived from sugar cane while granulated sugar can come from various sources like sugar beets. In terms of taste, cane sugar is often considered to have a slightly richer flavor compared to granulated sugar. Texture-wise, cane sugar may have a slightly coarser texture than granulated sugar. Nutritionally, both sugars are similar in terms of calories and carbohydrate content, but some people believe that cane sugar may retain more nutrients due to less processing compared to granulated sugar.
