Caster sugar is heavier.
14 oz of caster sugar is equivalent to ~397 grams of it.
About 6 oz :)
The same weight should be used for either. Caster sugar is just a finer grain so it will make a smoother textured result than using normal granulated sugar. Try using a blender on normal sugar to make it finer if you can't get caster sugar.
That is about 1.9 cups
Caster sugar is called "superfine" sugar in the United States. Do not confuse with confectioner's (powdered) sugar to which cornstarch has been added.
i think its because caster sugar has smaller particles!!:)
For those not familiar with caster sugar, it is called extra fine sugar in the US. Golden caster sugar is naturally refined caster sugar so it has a slightly golden hue because of a bit of molasses due to processing. It is not the same as brown sugar. Brown sugar is white sugar mixed with molasses but it is far stickier because extra molasses has been added. If you can't find golden caster sugar you might try taking turbinado sugar and running it through the food processor.
Granulated sugar shouldn't be used as a substitute where caster sugar is specified in a recipe; granulated sugar will be too coarse.
