brown sugar in cakes plz help

Hi can anyone please tell me if soft brown sugar will be ok in fairy buns i was just about to make somebuti have ran out of caster sugar :rolleyes:

I'd say go for it. You'll get a darker cake with a clightly different flavour and it might not rise quite so well, but if you cream the sugar and butter together really well then I bet it'd be fine.

What gingernutmeg said The texture may be a bit different too but i bet they'll taste lovely!

i only ever use brown sugar in my fairy cakes now, i find they are darker and taste lovely.

I've never tried fairy cakes with brown sugar but I like the idea of it, next time I make a batch I'll have a go.

you can whizz up some granulated sugar in a food processor and use that as caster sugar

I never even thought about that silly me
Well i made them they taste nice but i am not a fan, normal fairy cakes are better they did rise and have a great colour though.
