Guest guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Group, I am hoping to make my first ever vegan cake for someone's birthday this week. However, I was going through the files and I see it says to use a vegan sugar? I am a little confused. What is in sugar that would make it not vegan and how do I know if mine is vegan? Thanks so much for helping me out on this. Hugs, Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Mindy, Some white sugar is filtered through bone char, making it not vegan. It depends on the brand though. But from what I remember, cane sugar is usually filtered, but beet sugar is not. But I could have that reversed. Turbinado, sucanat and organic sugar all are vegan.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 So is sugar in the raw vegan? Hugs, Mindy , Elaine Pollard <elainepollard wrote: > > Wow, I had no idea! Thanks for sharing. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 That's my understanding. It's more expensive than plain white sugar -- I usually buy beet sugar. I bought some raw sugar / turbinado one time and made brownies with it -- that made for such good, moist brownies! If I remember right, I didn't have to use quite as much raw sugar as I would refined.... I think. Audrey S.
