In the US we have light, and dark brown sugar, the common appellations for brown sugar. We have moist as well as dry brown sugars, there are blocks of congealed brown sugars that need to be broken up or dissolved for use. The most common brown sugar here is light brown sugar which is about 2 cups (firm packed) per pound, but can be as much as 3 cups not packed. A US cup by the way is ~237 ml, as opposed to an imperial cup (227 ml) or an imperial half pint (283.7 ml). As far as 250 ml cups that is the common metric equivalent of a cup in English (US) and Imperial measures, though it isn't accurate to call it a cup. Natural, raw, or turbinado sugar refer to the same raw sugar, which is dried cane (golden) syrup and not pressed out from the cane as molasses is, demarara sugar is an extra dark form of this "raw" sugar. Brown sugar is made by adding molasses to refined white sugars, panela is a solidified block of brown sugar that needs to be crushed or dissolved for use.. Dry brown sugars are processed sugars that pour like refined sugars rather than clumping like traditional brown sugars.

How can you soften brown sugar that has hardened?
- Place a moistened cloth over the open container and leave it for several hours .
- Hard brown sugar will soften if you place a cut apple piece in the container overnight. Remove apple piece next day and sugar will remain soft.
may sound different but works
- If the brown sugar is in a box, put it in a plastic bag. Run a little square of paper towel under the faucet (smaller than a postcard). Wring it out, then put into the bag, seal, and stick in microwave for 15-20 seconds. You might have to keep checking it. But I guarantee you, it works like a charm.
- Put the brown sugar in a bowl, sprinkle a tiny bit of water on it, cover it, and put it in a microwave for a half minute or so depending on the amount you want softened.
- To keep the brown sugar soft, place a terra cotta (clay) disc in water over night and then in the sugar container. It will slowly release the moisture into the sugar.
- Microwave it for 15-30 seconds on high without any additional water.
- Easiest one I've found to work would be to place a slice of toast inside the container where the brown sugar is. Works like a charm.
- My wife puts in a slice of bread and seals it, and leaves it over night. She says it works.
- The Terra Cotta disc works very well, and only needs to be soaked for about fifteen minutes, patted dry, and then placed ON the brown sugar in a sealed container. There is no worry of mold using this method, and there are no food tastes imparted to the brown sugar! This softens rock hard brown sugar and also keeps brown sugar soft for up to 3 months when the disc can simply be re-soaked.
Another answer
Beat with a small mallet <- (This answer isn't entirely true. It doesn't soften it. It just breaks the brown sugar into smaller, more useful pieces)
Yet Another Answer
If your using it to put ontop of something microwavable, just put the brown sugar in a container and heat it up with whatever you are heating up already (just don't keep it in for too long. About 15-25 seconds will do it.) Take it out and it will be warm and soft again.
The BEST Answer a easy!!!!!
Thanks for the microwave idea. It really works:)!!!!!! I had a brown sugar brick and no time to run to the store...yikes! The sugar had dehydrated and become hard. I took my meat tenderizer mallet and broke the brick up into pieces about the size of a grape. I placed it in the microwave in an open bag next to a coffee cup half full of water. I heated to water on high for 3 -4 minutes so the hot water created a steamy environment in the microwave. I let it cool for a few minutes. Removed it from the microwave. The brown sugar rocks were soft and easy to squeeze into granulated brown sugar. The flavor was perfect.

Can you substitue brown sugar for white sugar?
Yes, but there may be a problem with the colour of the finish product, and there are sometimes problems with the brown sugar being more sticky then the white.
If in doubt, or if the recipe is to impress someone I'd get what the recipe recommends.
If you have time to do a trial run - something only you will see and taste - then use the brown and see what happens. It will most likely be perfectly alright, but sometimes we don't want to risk spoiling something we hope will make an impression.
