Every recipe I have found calls for cake flour, and I cant get to the store to get any. Does anybody know a recipe where I can use just regular flour?

Make your own - one cup sifted cake flour can be substituted with 3/4 cup (84 grams) sifted bleached all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons (15 grams) cornstarch.

CAKE FLOUR
To make cake flour out of regular flour:
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. baking powder
Fill rest of cup with all purpose flour and sift 12 times.
Here is another one.......
CAKE FLOUR MIX
For each cup cake flour needed:
Put 2 tablespoons cornstarch into measuring cup, spoon enough all-purpose flour to fill cup. Sift together 3 times. For 4 cups cake flour: Combine 3 1/2 cups unsifted flour with 1/2 cup corn starch. Sift 4 or 5 times. Use in any recipe calling for cake flour

You can use regular flour for a cake. Cake flour is normally lighter or fluffier than regular flour. Just shift the flour and proceed with recipe.

All purpose works just as well. I think it is just a little heavier than cake flour. Do as some have suggested and use the corn starch with the regular flour.

Yes, this will work. Cake flour is hard to find, and changes the texture a bit. All-purpose will be fine.

Flours are different. The higher the cost usually means higher flour quality. You get to decide what to buy!

Use 2 tablespoons per cup less. It will taste the same, but have a slightly different texture. It will be ok for an everyday cake, but don't go make a wedding cake.

all purpose flour will work, but cake flour will make what your cake lighter and fluffier. if you can sift the flour before adding it
