No caster sugar, will granulated work?

[b1uebells]

Need to make cakes and have no caster sugar. Would granulated work instead?

totally :)

yes. it's what they use in the US and everything comes out fine.

Yep

But icing doesn't

Do I just throw it in with the butter the same as caster?

Absolutely. I do a lot of baking and always use granulated.

Yes it's all the same thing, just slightly different consistency

yes but it will have a grittier texture

if you have a food processor blitz it there quickly. not too much, or you'll have icing sugar

Thank you all. Cakes in oven, dc didn't seem to have any complaints while licking the bowl so fingers crossed they are shaping up nicely!

It was fine - wasn't it?

It was, they were very lovely and nicer than normal! May always bake with it now!!
