Coconut palm sugar is a versatile substitute for conventional cane sugar for most baking purposes. It is less sweet than cane sugar but more flavorful, with a molasses-like flavor similar to brown sugar, and in many cases the quantity of sugar can be reduced by up to 25 percent without altering the end result. Use the paste form of cane sugar to sweeten batters and doughs that don't require creaming.
