exactly what is needed for fine meringues and other baking needs. Good to keep a package on hand in the pantry--useful for quick- dissolving sugar.

Every so often, I will find a recipe I want to bake that calls for casting sugar. These recipes usually originate in the UK. Casting sugar is a super fine sugar that is used in baking. I have found the India Tree Superfine Cadpting Sugar to be the best. Casting sugar can be fairly expensive do look for the best price.

I am including a recipe for a sponge cake with blueberries and cream. This is a recipe that everyone will love. A summertime treat to be sure .

From The Olive

Lemon Victoria Sponge Cake

Ingredients:

175g (6 oz) unsalted butter
175g (3/4 cup) golden caster sugar (I used this brand which is easy to find in the USA)
175g (1 1/2 cups) self-rising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 lemon, zested
3 eggs
2 Tbs milk
4 Tbs strawberry jam
300ml heavy cream,, whipped
Blueberries
Red sprinkles or red sanding sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180℃/350℉. Grease and line 2 (21cm or 8 inch) cake tins.

2. Put the butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, vanilla, zest and eggs into the bowl of a mixer and beat until well combined. Add the milk and beat until smooth.

3. Divide batter evenly between the tins, smooth the top and put in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

4. Remove pans from the oven and set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Run a palette or rounded butter knife around the edge of the tin and carefully turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack. Set aside to cool completely.

5. To assemble the cake, place one cake upside down onto a plate and spread it with jam. Spread over half of the whipped cream. Top with the second cake, top-side up. Spread with the rest of the cream and sprinkle over the berries and red sugar.

Serves 8 to 10

This fine sugar enables baked cakes and pastries a lighter density

Good product but the packaging is terrible,and it's pricey.
The sugar spills out of every crevice..

Liked flavor. Receipt I used had to look up every time to convert the ingredients to US. Caster sugar less is used.
