I don't know, but I have seen Gluten free baking recipes with pectin in, so it must do something to the mix.

Prob notas it will contain a setting agent.
Do you have any castor sugar, brown sugar!Have you already started the mix! Castor sugar can be added in the same quantity, for brown sugar use a bit less, and you will have to beat/cream,the mix really well
Often if low on sugar I change my recipe and bake something else, such as shortbread,(made with icing sugar) honey snaps, afghans or hokey pokey biccies.

woops lol i already tried it i was in the middle of a cake thoughhad sugar and it was no where to be found so i guess ill hafta wait and see how the jam setting sugar goes, the mixture felt nice and fluffy when i put it in the oven but i think your right the setting agent will probly affect it somehow.

Fingers crossed! Might make the cake heavier: if all else fails you will have a nice dessert with custard. Good luck!

There is only 0.7% setting agent in Chelsea Jam Sugar which is why I thought it would be fine. I'm pleased your cake turned out great melly16.
