Hi I am making an attempt to make my first carrot cake I have nearly all the ingredients I need but for the sugar it says 350g of Caster sugar I have Granulated sugar,dark brown Muscovado sugar and Demerara sugar can I use any of these as a substitute. Thanks

Hi viv,

Granulated sugar will be fine.......it's slightly coarser than granulated sugar but I've used it in the past with no problems.

Alternatively you can whizz granulated sugar in a blender to make it finer if you'd prefer.

These previous threads may help:

Alternative to Caster Sugar?

I'll add your thread to the most recent link once you've had more replies to keep the suggestions together.

You can always pound granulated sugar in a pestle and mortar, if you're worried. I've always used granulated where recipes ask for caster sugar though.
