Is it ok to use cake flour...?
When baking a cake is it ok to use cake flour even though the recipe calls for all purpose flour?
Answers:
yes, it's ok to substitute ckae flour for all purpose flour, but pls note that because cake flour is very fine, you should not substitute it cup for cup. For every 1 cup all purpose flour use 1 cup cake flour plus 2 tbsp more.
YES THAT IS OK, THE ONLY TIME YOU SHOULD USE DIFFERENT FLOUR IS WHEN MAKING BREAD,AS YOU NEED A STRONGER FLOUR.
Yes, it's OK to use cake flour as long a you realize that cake flour is a finer texture. You should find a transitional measurement for this either on the sack or box of cake flour or somewhere online BEFORE you use the cake flour so that you don't have a mess.
Simplest solution: Go buy some regular all-purpose flour for this cake. It's worth it because you don't have to look up all of the information and your mind will be easier about the outcome.
You'll do great!
YES !
Cake flour is only a "specialty" all purpose flour that is lighter (like pre-sifted) making a fluffier, light cake texture.
