What type of sugar is castor sugar?
Castor sugar is simply white sugar (sucrose) that has been ground so that the granules are smaller and finer. This makes it dissolve or blend more readily because there is more total surface area for the same weight of sugar that can be exposed to the medium (liquid, butter, egg whites) to which it is added.
What is the role of castor sugar in baking recipes and how does it differ from other types of sugar?
Castor sugar is often used in baking recipes because of its fine texture, which helps it dissolve quickly and evenly in batters and doughs. This results in a smoother texture in the final baked goods. Castor sugar is finer than granulated sugar but not as fine as powdered sugar. It also caramelizes more quickly than granulated sugar, which can affect the color and texture of baked goods.
What sugar is commonly used in baking cupcakes?
Regular granulated sugar is used most often but some recipes also call for brown sugar.
Why does castor sugar dissolve quicker than any other sugars?
Dissolving will depend on surface area. Castor sugar has a smaller particle than regular sugar. The smaller the particle the larger the surface area. Surface area: Regular sugar < castor sugar < icing sugar. Castor sugar should dissolve faster than the same mass of regular sugar but slower than the same mass of icing sugar.
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.
Where does caster sugar come from?

What is casting sugar?
Chemically casting sugar or castor sugar is just another name for regular sugar (sucrose). It gets its name (in Britain) as it is fine enough to be sprinkled from a sugar "caster" or sprinkler. Like all specialized ingredients in cooking it has a purpose:because of its fineness, it dissolves more quickly than regular white sugarit is especially useful in making meringues and sweetening cold liquids.
