Dark soft brown sugar fulfills several functions across different products, primarily adding flavor, color and spread.
It is regularly used in baking due to the fine texture and volume it achieves in cakes. In addition, dark soft brown sugar adds flavor, color and spread in denser baked goods, such as fruit cakes.
Dark soft brown sugar is also used in sauces and toffees, as its relatively small grain size means it easily dissolves. It also adds a strong aroma, sweetness and rich brown color.
