Can I do this? I want the cake darker in colour. Would I use the same quantity and just substitute?

yes it does helpto use brown sugar ,but better still use dark cane sugar. also a few drops of gravy browning helps, leaves no taste

A nice dark muscovado will do the trick.

you can and if you want a darker cake I add 100g of dark chocolate to mine. I Use the whittakers Sante Bars approx 2 -3 of them, melt and cool before adding to creamed butter and sugar. I add before I ad the eggs.
