How to measure caster sugar
Caster sugar (superfine sugar in the US) has smaller crystals that pack more closely than granulated sugar, so a cup weighs a little more. In most recipes you can swap them gram for gram.
In the UK, caster sugar is also called superfine sugar.
Weights are for US customary cups (236.6 ml), measured as described above. Measuring style changes weight a lot, so for baking, a digital scale gives the most reliable results.
