I have been trying to perfect my butter cake but the top part always very 'bumpy' & also the sugar like caramelised.. Anyone knw why?? Or any simple, fool-proof recipe or method i can use?

Finally made a mooncake! But i don't understand why is the flour still so "sticky" after i have mix all the flour, water, essence and shortening.. Is it because too much water or too less shortening? Also, for the water, are we suppose to use boiling water or cold water? Can I seek mummies here for advise?

Superfine (castor or caster) sugar is granulated white sugar that has superfine granules and is good for making meringues as it dissolves rapidly. You can make your own by processing granulated sugar in your food processor for a few seconds.
Confectioners, powdered or icing sugar is granulated sugar that has been ground to a powder with cornstarch added to prevent lumping and crystallization. It comes in 4X, 6X and 10X but 10X is the one generally found in stores. 10X means that the granulated sugar has been processed ten times. Confectioners sugar is used in meringues, icings, confections, and some sweet pastry.
