Related Caster Sugar Ingredients
Standard granulated sugar has larger crystals than caster sugar, so it dissolves more slowly in batters and meringues. They are close in weight (200 g vs 225 g per cup) and swap 1:1 by volume in most recipes, though caster gives a smoother result. See what 1 cup of sugar is in ounces.
Raw sugar has large, coarse crystals that dissolve slowly, the opposite of fine caster sugar. It packs lighter (200 g vs 225 g per cup), so it is not a 1:1 swap by volume; weigh when substituting. See our Raw Sugar converter.
