Cake Flour Substitute

This is a great workable cake flour substitute - but try this much easier method of measuring. Measure out 2 cups of flour into your mixing bowl, then remove 1/4 cup and replace with 1/4 cup of cornstarch.

This worked ok for me. Honestly we felt we could slightly taste the corn flour in the cake I made with it, which wasn't the best. The cake rose beautifully though! Unfortunately, the cake was also kind of dry and just not great but I can't attribute that to the cake flour necessarily since I had never made that cake recipe before either. In a pinch, I would use this recipe again to see if I had better luck since I don't have cake flour around the house on a regular basis.

Great substitute for the cake flour. I used it in Three Ingredient Italian Sponge Cake, to be served with The Ultimate Strawberry Shortcake.

As everyone else has said this makes fine cake flour. I put 1 3/4 cup of AP flour into the bowl, added 1/4 cup of core starch and proceeded to make Rich Sour Cream Scones, from 1928. Two thumbs up.

This worked great for the basic Southern Yellow Cake recipe which called for 3 cups of cake flour. So I had to modify if to 6 tablespoons. Worked beautifully! Light and fluffy!

I have enough different types of flour in my house that i don't need to buy another. Plus this stuff is expensive in the store... SHEESH! I don't find myself using it enough either to justify buying a whole box of it. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Lennie! its been a big help to me!! :)

We can't buy cake flour here, and I see it used in so many recipes, so I did a search and found this recipe for making my own. As far as I could tell, it worked out just fine! I used it to make Peachtree Street Gingerbread Cake ( Recipe #459977 ). Thanks for posting this!
