FAQ
- Why can't I substitute powdered sugar for granulated sugar in most cakes?
- The 3% cornstarch content absorbs moisture differently and can make the cake denser. Also, the fine texture doesn't create the same air pockets during creaming with butter, resulting in a less airy crumb.
- Can I use powdered sugar to make caramel?
- It is not recommended. The included cornstarch will burn at caramelization temperatures and prevent the sugar from melting into a clear liquid, resulting in a cloudy, scorched mixture.
