Making your own powdered sugar out of unrefined organic granulated sugar is quick and easy. You can use Rapadura or sucanat sugar granules. Just place 1 ½ cups of sugar crystals in a blender with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot starch. Begin at the lowest speed and work up to the highest speed. Let it run on the highest speed until it becomes light and powdery. This will only take a few minutes. To avoid breathing in any airborne powder, let it sit until it has settled. You will have a powdered sugar that is anywhere from light brown to tan in color due to its mineral and vitamin content. You can use this in any frosting recipe. I tried using palm (coconut) sugar and it was okay, but I wasn't that impressed with the finished product. I made a delicious carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting, using Rapadura and everyone loved it!
