You can, it's just not marked as such. Basic powdered or confectioner's sugar unless it is marked 10x is the same as 4x powdered sugar.
That is about 2.2 cups
The 4X just refers to how finely the sugar has been ground. For example 10X sugar is powdered or confectioners sugar. The larger the number the finer the grind.
That would be about 3 1/4 to 3 3/4 cups, sifted. The grade of sugar 10X or 4X will make a very slight difference and moisture will make a bigger difference.
Yes
There are approximately 4 cups per pound of 10x sugar. I'm sticking with 3 3/4 unless I sift it a few times. In most cases it doesn't affect the texture of the finished product and with that much being used, it definitely doesn't affect the taste!
10X refers to the number of times the sugar is processed to produce fine powder.
Yes, 10x sugar, also known as confectioners' sugar or powdered sugar, is a highly refined form of sucrose. It is made by grinding granulated sugar into a fine powder and then adding a small amount of cornstarch to prevent clumping. The "10x" designation indicates that the sugar has been finely ground ten times to achieve a very smooth texture, making it ideal for icings, frostings, and dusting desserts.
It is a reference to the fineness of the grain size. The bigger the number the finer the grain, eg:10X is finer than 4X. I believe that 14X is as high as it goes, though I'm not 100% sure. This fineness rating is generally irrelevant to the home baker. In fact, most icing sugar in grocery stores doesn't display it's fineness rating. If you're making whipped cream and you can find different grades pick up the finest one, it will dissolve easiest, giving you silky smooth whipped cream! :)
That depends on which Walmart you regularly shop at, but all in all they do.
Well, honey, 160 grams of sugar is roughly 0.8 cups. So, if you're baking up a storm and need to sweeten things up, just remember to use a little less than a cup of sugar. But hey, who's counting when it comes to dessert, am I right?
10x - 5x + 5x = 10x
