�SHERRY� 5,081 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Im planning in baking a brownies with a salted caramel layer in the middle. The thing is brownies is already sweet so if im adding the caramel it will make it sweeter. So im thing of reducing 1/2 cup of sugar and only using 1 cup. Does reducing the amount of sugar will change its texture? Will it make it dryer? Or just less sweet? I asked the one who made the recipe if its ok for me to do it and she said she didnt know for sure but it'd be fine. here is the recipe Ingredients3/4 cup vegetable oil1 1/2 cups sugar1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract3 eggs3/4 cup flour1/3 cup + 2 1/2 tbsp cocoa1/4 tsp + 1/8 tsp baking powder1/4 tsp salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhang Yixing>You 867 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 It's only 1/2 so I think it should still turn out fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pineapple 7,592 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 From what I remember the sugar in brownies helps keep them light and tender. I think the half a cup shouldn't be too much, but it might make the batter too runny, so I would probably end up removing 1 egg white if I were to make it.

Symphonyâ„¢ 11,329 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Why not get a salted caramel recipe instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
�SHERRY� 5,081 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Why not get a salted caramel recipe instead? cos all of the salted caramel brownies recipes i have found are using butter and i hate measuring butter and this recipe i want to use is supposedly mimicking boxed brownies so much easier.

Your Bae 3,001 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I don't think that should be too much of a problem, but the batter might be runny, so add either slightly more flour or like what someone else said, take out an egg white. Only do this if the batter's runny though. Tweaking the amount of anything that isn't sugar in recipes is risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Bae 3,001 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 what would happen if the batter is too runny? Might not cook properly. Or it might take longer to cook. Or it might not cook at all. ​Depends, but since these are brownies we're talking about, and you're only taking out half a cup, it might just take longer.
