Does a cup of granulated sugar equal a cup of powdered sugar?
Q. If I were to substitute granulated with powdered would the flavor change? I am not concerned about the thickness or anything, just the flavor.

A. All refined sugars--brown sugar, white sugar, raw sugars such as demerara or turbinado--are equal from a nutritive standpoint. Brown sugars simply contain a higher molasses content. Refined sugar is 99 percent pure sucrose, a simple carbohydrate. Other sugars, such as honey, taste sweeter on the tongue than granulated sugar. You can therefore use less honey to sweeten a batch of muffins than you would sugar. Maple syrup tastes less sweet than sugar, but its unique flavor is prized in baked goods and desserts. Listed below are common sweeteners and substitution suggestions. Natural Sweeteners Honey consists of several components: fructose, glucose, maltose and sucrose. It is 25 to 50% sweeter than sugar, and has a distinctive… [cont.]

I am about 1/4 cup short of granulated sugar for a recipe that calls for 1-1/2 cups sugar...?
Q. Can I use a little bit of powdered sugar to make up for it? Or brown sugar? I was thinking that might change the taste a bit. I also have apple sauce. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! THANKS! :) It is for a basic yellow cake recipe that I am using to make cupcakes.

A. Just leave the 1/4 cup out. It won't affect your recipe/bake time at all. Your cake will be just a smidge less sweet!

Is the cup used to measure flour is same with to measure sugar?
Q. I tried to cook cupcake using a recipe from magazine. The measurement was pretty weird. 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar. I used the same cup to measure flour and sugar. The cake turned up very sweet and I had to throw it away. Can someone advise if there is special cup to measure sugar? Many thanks

A. Please take the measuring cups and put them on a high shelf where you cannot see them. Maybe you will forget about them-which would be good for everyone- you should notattempt to cook again. Go buy cupcakes!

Q. A cup of granulated sugar is how many grams or ounces? (exact number please)?
Asked by yasamoka - Fri Feb 1 14:01:52 2008 - - 5 Answers - 1 Comments

A. 1 cup of sugar = 7.05 oz (weight) = 200 grams (These are approximations based on the average weight of sugar. GourmetSleuth.com has charts of how much a cup of a particular cooking ingredient weighs). Converting volume to weight can never be exact. You will get approximations only. Sugar will vary in density and solids are difficult to measure accurately using volume measuring devices (which were designed for liquids). For Mrs. Suz E., Brother Otter and Robert C.: Volume ounces are different than weight ounces. The morons who invented the English System gave the same unit name (ounces) to both volume and weight. Converting volume ounces to weight ounces would be the same as trying to convert inches to pounds; it can't be done. … [cont.]

how much powdered sugar equals 3/4 of a cup of granulated sugar?
Q. I need help!!
Asked by hey hey hey - Thu Jul 15 15:10:52 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is not a good idea to substitute one for the other. The taste and quality of your finished product would be "off". Confectioners, or powdered sugar contains cornstarch to prevent the fine sugar from lumping. You don't say what type of recipe you are making. If you are really in a bind, and that is the only sugar you have in the house, I would try carefully weighing the sugar and not use a volume form of measurement. Hope this is helpful.

What is the effect of using granulated brown sugar instead of the packed brown sugar when making cookies?
Q. Living in Germany I found it difficult to find the standard packed brown sugar that I have used in the States. The cookies I have been making just taste different. Obviously, there is less water or moisture in the granulated brown sugar and I am uncertain what this would do to the cookies. Additionally, should I use more granulated brown sugar? For example, would 3/4 cups of packed brown sugar equal 1 cup of granulated brown sugar or is it a 1 for 1 where 3/4 cups = 3/4 cups?
Asked by Tagheuerguy - Wed Apr 25 03:56:20 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's cup for cup, one cup of firmly packed brown sugar equals one cup of granulated sugar. What tastes different is the molasses is missing or scant in the granulated brown sugar. Brown sugar is white sugar mixed with molasses. Try getting molasses and mixing it with white granulated sugar to a familiar consistency to make your own brown sugar. My mom sometimes tried mixing real maple syrup in lieu of molasses for cookie recipes. Yum. I like the molasses taste best, though.

What causes boiling water to boil more violently when I pour granulated sugar into it?
Q. I brought water in a cup to a boil in a microwave, then pour granulated sugar in to it. (It's to make a solution for hummingbird feeders.) The water, lightly boiling when removed from the microwave, violently churns when I slowly pour granulated white sugar into it. Am I right in assuming this effect is due to the water being superheated, and the sudden disruption of the sugar being added causes the bulk of the water to boil? Is it air being purged out between the small crystals of the sugar, since the vapor pressure of the water is above the partial pressure of the air? Or something else? Or a combination of effects?

A. You've taken the first step in a good scientific inquiry. You observed a phenomenon and began trying to explain it. Now you can work toward an answer. You could see if sugar (glucose? sucrose?) is a molecule similar to salt for elevating the boiling point of water. (It depresses the freezing point like salt does.) You could try measuring water just as it boils, and then with the same instrument, measure sugar-water just as it boils, and see if it really is elevated. You can learn more about the subject by reading. The melting point of glucose (C6 H12 O6) is 113 degrees Centigrade, higher than the boiling point of water. Then you can formulate theories as possible explanations. You've started doing that. Then you can investigate… [cont.]
