In frosting could I replace granulated sugar for confectioners sugar?
I am sure it will be fine but it would make the frosting thicker, we like the creamy texture.
what is the difference between sugar cane and granulated sugar?
I exclusively use Cane Sugar, it’s less processed and made from Sugar Cane, Granulated is a more processed sugar, you can tell with the color, Cane Sugar is a caramelized color.
Could I make this into cupcakes .
Sorry, just saw this question and yes I believe it would be fine, adjust baking time though.
could you use swweet potatoes instead of pumkin. they usually take the same spices. Your thoughts
I think they have the same consistency and flavors, so I would say go for it and let me know how it turns out!
If you using regular sugar does 5he amount need to be adjusted?
Cane sugar is less sweet than white sugar, you wouldn’t need to adjust but could be a little sweeter, if you wanted too, I think 3/4 cups rather than 1 cup of Cane sugar would do it!
Looks yummy! However, NEVER pack the flour when measuring. Fill the measuring cup with flour by the spoonful without packing the flour down or digging into the flour bin.
Makes a lighter cake!😉
I didn’t pack it, just removed the top. You can get a lighter cake buy using a sifter!
