I'm sure it will work, it just might affect the taste a bit. If you have some light soft brown sugar you could maybe mix the two, I have done that before when I've run out of golden caster.0

I make chocolate pots (the ones that melt in the middle when you take them out the oven, and then go fudgy in the middle if you let them cool) and i use normal caster sugar in them and they are lovely, so im sure if you havnt got golden it wont make much difference!!!!0

I think the golden castor is unrefined - that's the only type I buy these days, and just has a bit more of a fudgey taste, but I would say the difference would be negligible. The texture is the same, and that's the main thing, because if it were more or less fine, you'd be affecting the level of sweetness. But I'd say go with white and you'd be fine. IMHO...0

It will make absolutely no difference at all Brokenwings.The taste difference is very slight,I'm sure the chocolate will be the main flavour in the resulting puds.Don't go to Tesco,I've already spent enough there this morning

Tonight I want to make one of the recipes in the new Delicious magazine, and it says to use golden caster sugar. Will I be alright to use plain old white caster sugar???? I presume it will be ok, i just wanted a second opinion.
Many Thanks

So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
Golden caster sugar is just the non-bleached variety. Only difference I have found actually using the golden version is the cake has a lovely extra colour to it.
That's the only real difference
working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?0 -
Definitely use white if that's what you've got -golden is just trendy. I use granulated for most things.0

Thanks very much for your answers. Exactly what i thought but thought i'd check. I didnt want to mess up the meal and have to spend money on some more sugar just for a tsp of the stuff0
