You can use regular sugar or soft brown sugar. The recipe requires everything to be melted, it isn’t the same as in the creaming method where you would need a finer sugar to incorporate into the eggs and butter. Just make sure that it’s all melted through gently. Caster sugar can be made at home by grinding regular sugar in a coffee grinder or food processor to reduce the size of the grains.
