Lucia, brown sugar is 97% sugar while granulated is 100% sugar, so it's actually a bit less sweet; but it has more flavor than white sugar, so probably that's what your taste buds are experiencing. Your cake would probably taste just as sweet with 3/4 cup white sugar, but it wouldn't taste as yummy, I suspect, simply due to the added flavor nuance of molasses that brown sugar offers. PJH
