Powdered sugar has a buffering agent in it that keeps it fluffy and prevents lumps. This means that powdered sugar has a finer texture but doesn't work well in clear drinks, as they won't remain clear, even when the sugar dissolves. Superfine sugar is pure sugar, intended to dissolve easily. It does however have a slightly crunchier texture. So, if you don't mind the texture change, you can substitute superfine when the recipe calls for powedered sugar, but not the other way around.
Yes, you can use granulated sugar as a substitute for castor (caster) sugar in a cake. Caster sugar is a quick dissolving sugar. So it will be necessary to grind standard granulated sugar in a food processor before using as a replacement. A blender can also be used.
Castor sugar is a superfine form of regular granulated white sugar (also known as "berry sugar"). Substituting regular sugar in its place can be done for some recipes without any consequence. In other recipes, there can be a difference in the texture of the final product (i.e it may be more gritty instead of smooth).
Icing sugar, also called confectioner's sugar and powdered sugar, is very finely powdered refined white sugar, with a small amount of cornstarch added. You can process regular granulated white sugar to a very fine powder in a blender, food processor or whirligig coffee grinder. Then place 2 Tbs. cornstarch in the measuring cup before filling with the processed sugar as you measure for your recipe.
In most things, No. Powdered sugar has cornstarch in it and has much less sweetening for the same amount.Clarification:Powdered (confectioners) sugar has only a minimal amount of cornstarch, which really doesn't affect the sweetness. The cornstarch is added to prevent the powdered sugar from lumping.But, as the answer above states, it usually cannot be used as a substitute for granulated sugar since it can result in the recipe not turning out as well.
Superfine flour should not be used in place of bread flour. Bread flour is made from "hard" wheat that has been bred to have the high gluten content that makes proper bread.
Common substitutes for powdered milk in baking recipes include regular milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk, almond milk, soy milk, and coconut milk. Each of these alternatives can be used in place of powdered milk in various recipes to achieve similar results.
Glaze is made using powdered sugar, butter, and milk or cream. To make: cream the powdered sugar with softened butter, slowly add milk or cream as you incorporate it into the mixture by stirring. Alternately add additional powdered sugar or very small amounts of cream until the mixture reaches the desired consistency. If you don't have powdered sugar just place regular sugar in a food processor or blender and run until the sugar is powdered.
Castor sugar may not be easy to find, but it is easy to make. In fact, it's really nothing more than granulated sugar that has been ground to a super fine consistency. Here's what you need: Granulated Sugar Blender or Food Processor Place granulated sugar in food processor or blender Pulse until it reaches a super-fine, but not powdery consistency Allow to settle for a few minutes. Then use in place of the castor sugar called for in your recipe.

You can use powdered buttermilk in recipes by mixing it with water to create a buttermilk substitute. Just follow the instructions on the package to reconstitute the powdered buttermilk, and then use it in place of liquid buttermilk in your recipes.
