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).
A suitable demerara sugar substitute for baking recipes is turbinado sugar, which has a similar flavor and texture.

Demerara sugar is unrefined, usually somewhat coarse but dry sugar. It is not brown sugar, which has clumps together. It is pale golden in color and can be called either raw sugar or turbinado sugar in the States. Caster sugar is a very fine grade granulated sugar, most often used for baking as it causes cakes to rise better, or for putting on fruits and berries as it melts faster. It is sometimes sold as berry sugar.I recently bought some demerara sugar which was ground up to caster grade. It worked very well and was delicious in a lemon cake.You can make your own caster sugar by whirling up granulated in a blender.

You use granulated sugar unless otherwise noted.
Granulated sugar shouldn't be used as a substitute where powdered sugar is specified in a recipe; granulated sugar will be too coarse.
Granulated sugar is a common type of sugar that has been processed into small, uniform crystals. It is often used in baking and cooking. Granulated sugar is different from other types of sugar, such as powdered sugar or brown sugar, in terms of texture and how it is used in recipes.
Granulated sugar is a type of sugar that has been processed into small, uniform crystals. Sugar, on the other hand, is a broader term that refers to any sweet, soluble carbohydrate used as a sweetener. Granulated sugar is a specific type of sugar that is commonly used in baking and cooking.
Caster sugar is finer and dissolves more easily than granulated sugar. Granulated sugar has larger crystals and is commonly used in baking and cooking, while caster sugar is often used in recipes where a smoother texture is desired, such as in meringues or custards.
You could substitute regular granulated sugar instead. (Chapter 4. Pg 68 Professional Baking)
The main difference between using cane sugar and granulated sugar in baking recipes is the size of the sugar crystals. Cane sugar has larger crystals, which can result in a slightly different texture in baked goods compared to the finer granulated sugar. Additionally, cane sugar may have a slightly different flavor profile due to its less refined nature.
