Can I make a cake with granulated sugar?

[talkingnonsense]

Have run out of castor sugar- need a cake for tomorrow! It's going to be gluten free so will be slightly rough textured anyway- can I use granulated? Or better wait and rush tomorrow? Tia!

Yes absolutely. It will melt anyway in the cooking process so it makes no difference at all in my experience!

Yes, it should be fine. I do it all the time and have not had a disaster yet.

I have never used caster sugar to make cakes. My mum always told me it makes no difference and was a waste of money (is it more expensive?) She even refused to buy it when it was "required" for cookery at school and sent me with granulated.

She makes great cakes.

I always use granulated unless it states otherwise which is very rare. I didn't realise others didn't

I almost always use granulated, never noticed a difference and my cakes are yummy. Mum's cakes are brilliant and she never uses caster sugar.

Sling the granulated in your food processor, and hey presto: caster.
Well, sort of.

I always use demerara or muscovado no matter what the recipe says because I prefer the taste. have to beat it with the butter and egg a bit more, but cakes always turn out fine.

Thank you- I've done it and it looks okay!
