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.
Is granulated sugar and powdered sugar a mixture?
Granulated sugar is just sugar. Powdered sugar has corn starch in it so that it will stay as a powder and not lump.
Can you substitute confectioners sugar for granulated sugar in cookies?
Yes, you can use caster sugar instead of granulated sugar. However, be careful on the measurements. Use a little less caster sugar. Caster sugar is finer granulated sugar. It is not as fine as powdered sugar, but it is in between granulated and powder. Caster sugar dissolves more easily,so it is very beneficial in making meringues.
Is white sugar the same as granulated sugar?
no because white sugar is more clumped than powdered sugar and powdered sugar doesn't taste like sugar that much Powdered sugar is chemically not fundamentally different from regular sugar, just more finely ground. However, powdered sugar may contain additives to prevent clumping. you are exactly right!!!! by Terrier23
How much confectioners sugar do you need for 1 cup of granulated sugar?
Cornstarch is added to confectioners (powdered) sugar to prevent the sugar from lumping, so the amount is quite minimal. And adding cornstarch to granulated sugar isn't what makes it confectioners sugar. Confectioners sugar is much finer and softer than granulated sugar, it has a texture much like that of cornstarch. So you would have to be able to grind granulated sugar into a very fine powder in order to make it like confectioners sugar.
One receipe calls for sugar another for granulated sugar for bread machine?
Unless it is specified as something else, sugar in a recipe is granulated sugar. If it is supposed to be powered or brown it will say so.
How much oz is in granulated sugar?
It depends on how much granulated sugar you have. Also, sugar granules come in different sizes so you cannot measure the mass of a single granule.
What would react more quickly in a chemical reaction a single cube or an equal mass of granulated sugar crystals?
Granulated sugar. With a sugar cube, only the sugar on the six faces of the cube can react; the sugar WITHIN the cube is surrounded only by other sugar molecules. Ground-up, or "granulated" sugar has thousands of faces, so it can all react at once.
Which sugar is better between white sugar or brown sugar or granulated sugar?
From a nutrition/health perspective they are so alike that there's no meaningful difference between them.
What is the difference between raw sugar and granulated sugar?
Granulated sugar is the regular table sugar people use on a daily basis, although technically the term "granulated sugar" could refer to sugar which is derived from beet roots. Raw sugar is a byproduct of the refining of sugarcane to obtain regular sugar. You can certainly substitute one for another in cooking, however, you should not substitute them for another in baking, since the size and texture of the products are different, and that can affect baking results.
Can you substitute powdered sugar for granulated sugar in cake recipes?
Yes you can, but you'll have to use more because of its texture so use 2 cups powdered sugar for every 1 cup granulated sugar. Powder sugar is just granulated sugar that has been spun for a smoother texture. It is usually used for frostings or such.
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.
